Oak Meadows Elementary

Summary:

Oak Meadows Elementary is a public elementary school located in Murrieta, CA, serving 844 students in grades K-5 and part of the Menifee Union School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 58.2% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy and 43.09% in Mathematics, compared to 52.93% and 39.02% for the district, respectively.

However, Oak Meadows has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.7% in 2017-2018 to 27.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district average. The school's performance for English Language Learners and Disabled students has also declined in recent years, dropping from the top quartile to the bottom quartile. When compared to nearby schools in the Murrieta Valley Unified and Temecula Valley Unified districts, Antelope Hills Elementary and Tovashal Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics.

Despite these challenges, Oak Meadows Elementary has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top third of California elementary schools over the past decade. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (55.33%) suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the needs of this population and improve attendance and subgroup performance.

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.
