Oaklandon Elementary School

Summary:

Oaklandon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-6 in the MSD Lawrence Township school district in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a student population of 483 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student body, with 26.5% White, 48.03% African American, 12.42% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, and students of two or more races.

Oaklandon Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.6% to 25.1%, significantly below-average test scores on the ILEARN assessments compared to the district and state, and a low 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance compared to other schools in Indiana. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.75% to 67.44%, which is significantly higher than the district average and suggests a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to nearby schools like Forest Glen Elementary and Mary Evelyn Castle Elementary, Oaklandon Elementary performs significantly worse on test scores and other metrics.

The data suggests that Oaklandon Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the factors contributing to its underperformance, such as chronic absenteeism, low proficiency rates, and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Identifying and implementing effective strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and the MSD Lawrence Township district.

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.
