Oxford Elementary School

Summary:

Oxford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Oxford, Michigan, with a student population of 366 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Oxford Community Schools district, which is ranked 196 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oxford Elementary School consistently outperforms the Oxford Community Schools district and the state of Michigan in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 58.5% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.9% for the district and 43.3% for the state. The school has also maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools for several years, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year. Oxford Elementary School's performance is particularly strong among certain student subgroups, such as female and male students, both of which earned 4-star ratings in the 2023-2024 school year.

While Oxford Elementary School has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, its performance among this subgroup is still strong, ranking 431 out of 1,381 Michigan elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to other elementary schools in the surrounding area, such as Lakeville Elementary School, which is also part of the Oxford Community Schools district, Oxford Elementary School generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, statewide ranking, and student group performance. The school's increased spending per student, from $10,240 in the 2019-2020 school year to $15,020 in the 2022-2023 school year, may have contributed to its strong academic performance, though the rising chronic absenteeism rate is a concern that should be addressed.

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.
