Fair Oaks Elementary

Summary:

Fair Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, serving 371 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osseo Public School District, which is ranked 289 out of 463 districts in the state.

Fair Oaks Elementary has a highly diverse student population, with significant representation of African American (31%), Hispanic (30.46%), and Asian (28.57%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (50.56%) and Reading (35%) were significantly below the district (43.79% and 47.84%) and state (45.47% and 49.85%) averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with high rankings for African American and Hispanic students but low rankings for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Osseo district, such as Palmer Lake Elementary and Birch Grove School For The Arts, Fair Oaks Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. However, Fair Oaks has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (83.56%), suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population. The combination of a diverse student body, high poverty rates, and relatively low academic performance indicates that Fair Oaks Elementary may face significant challenges in improving student outcomes, and targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to address these issues.

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.
