Summary:
The city of Oakland, Kentucky has only one school, Oakland Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 380 students. The school is part of the Warren County school district, which is ranked 75 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Oakland Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade mathematics, only 12% of Oakland Elementary students scored proficient or better, compared to 42% in the district and 43% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past three school years, with rankings ranging from 611 to 644 out of approximately 685 schools. Oakland Elementary has received a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance compared to other schools in the state.
The data suggests that Oakland Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 78.68% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes suggest that additional resources or targeted interventions may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population. Collaboration with the district and community stakeholders may be crucial in developing and implementing a comprehensive plan for school improvement.
