Summary:
Oakhurst STEAM Academy is a public magnet elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school faces significant challenges in overall academic performance, particularly among Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and low-income students.
Oakhurst STEAM Academy's student proficiency rates on End-of-Grade (EOG) assessments are generally lower than the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and North Carolina state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 52.1% in Mathematics, 34.2% in Reading, and 52.3% in Science, compared to the district's rates of 61.8%, 47.5%, and 65.9%, respectively. The school's performance has been consistently low, earning it a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Interestingly, Oakhurst STEAM Academy ranks 1st out of 15 North Carolina elementary schools for its performance with homeless students, suggesting that the school may have effective strategies and support systems in place to address the unique needs of this population. However, the school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, ranging from 98.59% to 99.47% over the past three school years, indicates that it may face significant challenges in providing adequate resources and support to its diverse student population. Nearby schools, such as Merry Oaks International Academy, Rama Road Elementary, and Eastover Elementary, generally have higher student proficiency rates and serve more diverse student populations.
