Oakley Elementary

Summary:

Oakley Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakley, Kansas, serving 221 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Oakley School District, which is ranked 181 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-out-of-5-star rating.

Oakley Elementary's academic performance has been mixed compared to the state average. While the school's 3rd-grade students have consistently outperformed the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, their 4th-grade performance has been weaker. Notably, the school's female students have outperformed their male counterparts, and its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students have performed better than the state average. However, the school's white students have struggled, ranking 437 out of 579 Kansas elementary schools in the most recent year.

The closest nearby school, Grinnell Grade School, which is part of the Grinnell Public Schools district, has significantly lower academic performance than Oakley Elementary, with proficiency rates below the state average. This highlights the limited options for high-performing public elementary schools in the region, which could impact educational opportunities for families in the area.

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.
