Oakley Middle School

Summary:

Oakley Middle School is a public middle school in Oakley, Kansas, serving 134 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Oakley School District, which is ranked 181 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Oakley Middle School has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranging from a high ranking of 95th out of 343 Kansas middle schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 289th out of 368 in 2021-2022. In the current school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.41%) and Mathematics (27.49%) are below the state averages, while its Science proficiency (42.84%) outperforms the state. The school's performance has generally declined over the past few years, with lower proficiency rates compared to the state. Interestingly, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female and white students performing better than their male and low-socioeconomic status counterparts.

Oakley Middle School faces several challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.85% to 45.52%) and a relatively low spending per student ($11,520 in 2018-2019). The nearby Grinnell Middle School, which is part of the Grinnell Public Schools district, also performs below the state average in most academic areas, suggesting that the challenges faced by Oakley Middle School may be reflective of broader regional or district-level factors. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community.

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.
