Country Oaks Elementary School

Summary:

Country Oaks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Commerce Township, Michigan, serving 525 students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Huron Valley Schools district.

Country Oaks consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in English Language Arts and Math. However, the school faces some challenges, including lower performance for male students, special education students, and a significant increase in chronic absenteeism. Compared to nearby schools, Country Oaks generally outperforms other Huron Valley Schools elementary schools, but some schools in the neighboring Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district, such as Glengary Elementary and Commerce Elementary, have higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

While Country Oaks has a relatively high socioeconomic status compared to some nearby schools, the increasing chronic absenteeism rate is a concerning trend that may impact the school's overall performance and student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important focus for the school and district to improve the learning experience 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.
