Oakridge Elementary School

Summary:

Oakridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hollywood, Florida, serving 449 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of Hispanic students, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance compared to the surrounding area and state averages.

Oakridge has a student population that is 52.34% Hispanic, much higher than the more even racial distribution of nearby schools. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 36.8% to 51.3% over the past two years, well above the surrounding schools. Academically, Oakridge students perform significantly lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages on state assessments, with only 27% of 5th-graders proficient in science compared to 52% and 53% for the county and state, respectively. Additionally, Oakridge has a very high percentage of students, 80-84%, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Oakridge's performance is generally lower than nearby schools, there are some exceptions. For example, Sunshine Elementary Charter School, just 0.64 miles away, has significantly higher test scores in several subject areas despite a similar student demographic profile. The high per-student spending at Oakridge, $17,979 compared to $7,211 to $16,308 at other nearby schools, suggests the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to drive student achievement. However, the proximity of higher-performing schools, such as Beachside Montessori Village and Ben Gamla Charter School, indicates that there may be opportunities for Oakridge to learn from and emulate the practices of these successful schools.

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.
