Summary:
The city of Oakwood, Georgia is home to three schools: West Hall High School, West Hall Middle School, and Oakwood Elementary School. These schools, which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, are part of the Hall County school district.
Among the standout schools in Oakwood, West Hall Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance on the Algebra I End of Course exam, with 78.6% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (36.2%) and state (44%) averages. However, the school's overall performance on other subject area assessments, such as English Language Arts and Mathematics, lags behind district and state averages. Oakwood Elementary School also performs relatively well on the 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics Milestones assessments, with proficiency rates closer to the state averages compared to the district.
Despite these bright spots, the data suggests that the schools in Oakwood, as a whole, are underperforming compared to the district and state averages on standardized assessments, particularly in core subject areas like English Language Arts and Science. This consistent underperformance may be related to challenges in effectively allocating resources or targeting interventions to address the specific needs of the student population, which includes a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
