Oakdale School

Summary:

Oakdale School is an elementary school located in Oakdale, Connecticut, serving 302 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Montville School District, which is ranked 93 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakdale School consistently outperforms the Montville School District and the state of Connecticut in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. However, the school's racial diversity is lower than nearby schools, with a higher percentage of white students (71.52%). Interestingly, Oakdale School's female students and special education students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% and top 10% of Connecticut elementary schools, respectively. Despite its historical high performance, Oakdale School's statewide ranking has declined from the top 15% in 2016-2017 to the top 40% in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decline in academic performance compared to other Connecticut elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Oakdale School's academic performance is generally stronger than Mohegan School and Dr. Charles E. Murphy School, which are also part of the Montville School District. However, the Integrated Day Charter School, located outside the district, outperforms Oakdale School in several subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that while Oakdale School is a strong performer, there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the school's declining statewide ranking and potential equity concerns related to its racial composition.

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.
