Oak Ridge Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Royal Oak, Michigan, serving 388 students in grades K-5 and part of the Royal Oak Schools district, which is ranked 162 out of 610 districts in the state.

Oak Ridge Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments, with particularly strong performance in 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts and Math. The school's diverse student population includes a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students compared to nearby schools. However, Oak Ridge has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5% in 2017-2018 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. The school also spends the most per student, at $14,995, among the nearby schools.

Compared to other local schools, Addams Elementary and Northwood Elementary, Oak Ridge outperforms them in academic assessments, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts and Math. However, Northwood Elementary has a higher overall ranking and rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that factors beyond just test scores contribute to a school's performance. The nearby schools in the Lamphere Public Schools and Clawson Public Schools districts generally have lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism compared to Oak Ridge Elementary.

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.
