Oak Hill Elementary

Summary:

Oak Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 238 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 338 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Hill Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, with statewide rankings ranging from 770 to 1090 out of over 900 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 7.2% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42.4%. The school has a predominantly minority student population, with over 52% African American and 26% Hispanic students, and an extremely high percentage (over 98%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Froebel Elementary, Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Ac, and Buder Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance on state assessments, despite serving similar student populations in terms of socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic composition. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics and economic status may be contributing to the poor performance of Oak Hill Elementary, which has remained consistently low over the past decade.

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.
