Oakwood Elementary

Summary:

Oakwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Stockton, California, serving 548 students in grades K-6. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a low-performing school.

Oakwood Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the Lodi Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.34% of Oakwood students were proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course, compared to 37.78% for Lodi Unified and 47.04% for California. The school's performance in Science (CAST) is also significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, Oakwood Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.6% in 2017-2018 to 44.6% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Lodi Unified District, such as Podesta Ranch Elementary and Creekside Elementary, generally outperform Oakwood Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. However, these nearby schools still struggle to meet state averages, indicating broader challenges within the district. In contrast, schools in the Lincoln Unified District, such as Colonial Heights and Lincoln Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance compared to Oakwood and the Lodi Unified schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
