Oakland Avenue Charter

Q: Is Oakland Avenue Charter a good school?

Oakland Avenue Charter ranks 256 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oakland Avenue Charter is an elementary public charter school located in Oakland, Florida, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 537 students. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakland Avenue Charter consistently outperforms the Orange County and Florida state averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 93% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 61% in Orange County and 53% statewide. The school's student population is also more racially diverse than many of the nearby public schools, with 63.31% White, 21.42% Hispanic, 4.1% African American, and 3.72% Asian students in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.5% in 2018-2019 to 48.0% in 2021-2022, which is an area of focus for the school.

Compared to nearby public schools, Oakland Avenue Charter stands out as a high-performing institution. In the 2023-2024 school year, its 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 71%, compared to 44-85% at schools like Ocoee Elementary and William S Maxey Elementary. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 22.53% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly lower than some of the nearby public schools. Overall, Oakland Avenue Charter is a standout institution in the local area, but the school should continue to address the fluctuations in chronic absenteeism and consider ways to promote greater socioeconomic diversity among its student body.

This school is a joke. My child's Kindergarten teacher was very mean and ineffective. The Principal is very rude and dresses in an unprofessional manner. I was aghast at how upset my child was everyday she came home from school. As a former Elementary Teacher I can say that this school, while having some decent stuff going for it, could use a lot of improvement. Close Quote

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.
