Oxford Community Schools

The Oxford Community Schools district in Michigan comprises 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with varying academic performance and socioeconomic factors across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district are Clear Lake Elementary School and Oxford Elementary School, both of which rank in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools and boast strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, the district's high schools show more variation, with Oxford High School performing well with a 96.3% graduation rate, while Oxford Bridges High School, an alternative school, struggles with a lower 68.4% graduation rate and a higher 15.7% dropout rate.

The data also reveals significant disparities in socioeconomic factors and their impact on academic performance. Schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Lakeville Elementary School and Oxford Bridges High School, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. This suggests the need for the district to address equity concerns and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to high-quality education.
