Summary:
The 04841 zip code area is home to two schools - Oceanside High School, the only high school in the area, and South School, the sole elementary school. While both schools have predominantly white student populations, they face challenges in academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and serving economically disadvantaged students.
Oceanside High School has a relatively large student enrollment of 525 but struggles with below-average state assessment proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate of 79.2% is also lower than the state average. In contrast, South School performs slightly better, with proficiency rates close to the regional and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, with Oceanside High School at 46.9% and South School at 26.6%. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population at both schools is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. The schools' relatively low student-teacher ratios suggest adequate staffing resources, but further analysis is needed to understand how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement.
