Oakman Elementary School

Summary:

Oakman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dearborn, Michigan, serving 239 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its unique racial composition, high chronic absenteeism, and mixed academic performance compared to nearby schools and the district average.

Oakman Elementary School has a 100% White student population, which is significantly different from the more diverse nearby schools. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10% in 2018-2019 to 22% in 2022-2023, higher than the state average and nearby schools. While Oakman's test scores are generally above the state average, they are lower than the Dearborn City School District average and the nearby schools in most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Oakman's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 40%, compared to the district's 41.1% and the state's 39.6%.

Oakman Elementary School also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 92.47% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 86.98% to 95.81%. Additionally, the school has the highest per-student spending among the nearby schools, at $19,728 in 2022-2023, higher than the district and state averages. These factors suggest that Oakman Elementary School faces unique challenges in effectively educating its predominantly low-income student population, and the school's strategies and resource allocation may warrant further examination.

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.
