The elementary school outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels, while the junior/senior high school has mixed results, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state averages, and others falling behind. The Oxford Online Virtual School lacks available test score data, making it difficult to assess its effectiveness.

The virtual school, on the other hand, has a significantly lower free/reduced lunch rate of 8.33%, raising questions about the accessibility and inclusiveness of this educational option. Overall, the analysis of the Oxford school data reveals a mixed picture, with the elementary school standing out as a strong performer and the junior/senior high school and virtual school presenting opportunities for further investigation and improvement.
