Oakhurst Elementary School

Q: Is Oakhurst Elementary School a good school?

Oakhurst Elementary School ranks 284 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oakhurst Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Largo, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 664 students. The school is part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakhurst Elementary consistently outperforms the Pinellas County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Oakhurst's 5th-grade students scored 85% proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 64% for Pinellas County and 53% for the state. However, the school has a higher percentage of white students (73.49%) compared to the nearby schools, such as Mildred Helms Elementary School and Orange Grove Elementary School, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Oakhurst Elementary has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.5% in 2018-2019 to 22.8% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Another interesting finding is that Oakhurst Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.8%) compared to the nearby schools, which have higher rates ranging from 40.44% to 68.06%. This suggests a difference in the socioeconomic status of the student population, which could be a factor in the school's academic performance. Overall, Oakhurst Elementary School stands out as a high-performing elementary school in the Pinellas County School District, but the school's racial imbalance and fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate are areas that warrant further investigation and potential improvement efforts.

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.
