Oakland Park Elementary School

Summary:

Oakland Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 576 students in grades PK-5 in the Broward County School District in Oakland Park, Florida. The school has a predominantly Hispanic (62.33%) and African American (30.56%) student population, with lower percentages of White, Asian, and other racial groups.

Despite receiving adequate funding, with per-student spending ranging from $10,403 to $14,455 over the past few years, Oakland Park Elementary School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.2% to 47.2%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates often 10-30 percentage points below the district and state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.14% to 83.16%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Floranada Elementary School and Bayview Elementary School, which have significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates and substantially higher test scores, Oakland Park Elementary School's performance stands out as an area of concern. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,505 and 2,110 out of over 2,200 schools, and has received 0-2 out of 5 stars from School Digger, indicating poor overall performance.

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.
