Oakshire Elementary School

Summary:

Oakshire Elementary School is a public elementary school in Houma, Louisiana, serving 571 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Terrebonne Parish school district, which is ranked 25th out of 122 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Oakshire stands out for its diverse student population, with 46.23% White, 23.64% African American, 12.96% Hispanic, and 17.17% other races/ethnicities - more diverse than nearby schools like Mulberry Elementary (73.44% White) and Broadmoor Elementary (62.09% White). Academically, Oakshire performs on par or slightly above the Terrebonne Parish and Louisiana averages, with 79% of students proficient or better in ELA and 69% in math. The school also ranks in the top 25% of Louisiana elementary schools for African American students and top 50% for Hispanic students.

However, Oakshire's performance has fluctuated over the years, and the school faces challenges with a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (62.35% qualify for free/reduced lunch). While Oakshire outperforms many nearby schools, Mulberry Elementary and Broadmoor Elementary have higher math proficiency and overall state rankings. Oakshire may benefit from a focus on improving math outcomes to build on its academic strengths.

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.
