While Oak Terrace Elementary School is part of a highly-ranked school district, its own academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages. This suggests that the school may be underperforming relative to its peers and the broader educational landscape, despite having access to significant resources as evidenced by its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio. The school's socioeconomic challenges, with 59.52% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may also be impacting its academic outcomes.
