Oster-Oakview School

Summary:

Oster-Oakview School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in New Lenox School District 122 in Illinois, with an enrollment of 360 students.

While Oster-Oakview School has seen an increase in spending per student, from $10,781 in 2019-2020 to $12,819 in 2022-2023, its academic performance lags behind other middle schools in the district, such as Nelson Ridge School and Bentley Elementary School, which have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. In 2023-2024, Oster-Oakview School had only 45.6% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 54.7% for the district and 41.2% for the state, and 36.1% proficient or better in math, compared to 47.2% for the district and 28.4% for the state.

Additionally, Oster-Oakview School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 3.8% in 2019-2020 to 9.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average of 6.7% for 2020-2021. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 16.39% in 2022-2023, compared to the district average of 12.98% for Nelson Ridge School and 15.51% for Bentley Elementary School, suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's challenges. The school and district should closely examine these issues and develop targeted strategies to address them, in order to improve the educational outcomes for their students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
