Oaklawn Elementary School

Q: Is Oaklawn Elementary School a good school?

Oaklawn Elementary School ranks 550 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oaklawn Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 348 students in grades K-4 in Monticello, Indiana, which is part of the Twin Lakes School Corporation. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, relatively low test scores compared to both local and state-level peers, and a declining statewide ranking over time.

Oaklawn Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates have been significantly higher than nearby Eastlawn Elementary and Meadowlawn Elementary schools, ranging from 12.8% to 22.2% in recent years. Additionally, the school's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are generally below the state and district averages, with only 34.92% of Oaklawn students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37.67% for the Twin Lakes School Corporation. In math, Oaklawn performed better, with 47.62% proficient or better, but still lagged behind the district's 35.48% proficiency rate.

When comparing Oaklawn Elementary to higher-performing schools outside the Twin Lakes district, such as Burnett Creek Elementary and Hershey Elementary in the Tippecanoe School Corporation, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. These schools have much higher proficiency rates, with Burnett Creek Elementary scoring 61.66% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 70.24% in Math. Oaklawn's declining statewide ranking, from 373 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 550 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, further highlights the need for improvement at the school.

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.
