Oak Park Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 354 students in grades PK-5 in Tampa, Florida, which is part of the Hillsborough School District. The school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of African American students, extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, and consistently low test scores compared to the district and state averages.

Oak Park has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (75.14%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 16.87% to 86.58% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.5% to 55.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 0% to 62.6%. Additionally, Oak Park's test scores are consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 26-48% of students proficient in ELA and Math, compared to 51-56% for the district and state.

While Oak Park spends significantly more per student, ranging from $13,322 to $15,629 per year, compared to the surrounding schools, which range from $12,254 to $17,941 per student, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The surrounding schools, such as Kenly Elementary School and James Elementary School, while also serving high-poverty populations, generally outperform Oak Park on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Oak Park Elementary School.

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.
