Oak View High

Q: Is Oak View High a good school?

Oak View High ranks 480 th of 2323 California high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oak View High is a small public high school located in Oak Park, California, serving just 25 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Oak Park Unified School District, which is ranked 78 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oak View High's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 8-9 students per teacher may provide opportunities for personalized attention, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the surrounding Thousand Oaks High and Oak Park High. In 2023-2024, only 31.25% of Oak View High students were proficient or better in math, compared to 69.37% in the district and 27.9% statewide. The school's science proficiency rates (23.08%) also lag behind the district (73.16%) and state (30.7%) averages. Additionally, Oak View High has experienced significant fluctuations in graduation rates, ranging from 66.7% to 95.0%, and dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 13.3%.

Another area of concern at Oak View High is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 22.0% in 2018-2019 to 65.8% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the 7-18% rates at the larger nearby schools. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28% to 37.93% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and address the unique needs of its diverse population.

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.
