Oak View Elementary

Summary:

Oak View Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 415 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak View Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (60.72%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 10.48% to 94.31% Hispanic students. The school also outperforms the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Oak View's overall Mathematics proficiency was 35%, compared to 33.4% for the district and 24.1% for the state. Additionally, Oak View has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, lower than the nearby schools, which range from 9.7 to 15.4.

While Oak View Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, it performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, such as African American students (ranked 24th out of 504 Maryland elementary schools in 2020-2021) and Special Education students (ranked 36th out of 136 Maryland elementary schools in 2020-2021). However, the school lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Sligo Creek Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools. Oak View's relatively high per-student spending (ranging from $16,563 to $17,576 over the past three years) may contribute to its strong academic performance, especially considering the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
