Oakland Terrace Elementary

Summary:

Oakland Terrace Elementary is a public elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving 530 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Oakland Terrace Elementary consistently performs above the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 50.8% of all students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 33.4% for the Montgomery County Public Schools district and 24.1% for the state of Maryland. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade Mathematics, where 65.1% of students were proficient or better, compared to 50.4% for the district and 40% for the state. Oakland Terrace also has a relatively diverse student population, with 35.47% White, 15.85% African American, 35.28% Hispanic, and 5.28% Asian students.

However, the school's subgroup performance is mixed, with African American students performing exceptionally well, ranking 23rd out of 504 Maryland elementary schools in this subgroup, but English Language Learner (ELL), Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students performing relatively poorly. Compared to nearby schools like Arcola Elementary and Highland Elementary, which have lower academic performance and higher percentages of Hispanic and lower-income students, Oakland Terrace stands out for its consistent high achievement, particularly in Mathematics. The school's subgroup disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps and ensure equitable outcomes for all 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.
