Oak Street Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Street Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in the Lakewood Township School District in New Jersey, with a student population of 534 in a predominantly Hispanic community.

Oak Street Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high-needs student population, low academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (87.64%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 27.16% to 92.48% Hispanic students. Academically, Oak Street consistently underperforms, with only 25.8% and 23.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively, compared to the state and district averages. The school has also experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.6% in 2018-2019 to 31.7% in 2020-2021, which is much higher than the surrounding schools.

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots. Nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Clifton Ave Grade School and Ella G Clarke Elementary School, outperform Oak Street on standardized tests, suggesting that with targeted interventions and additional resources, Oak Street could potentially improve its educational outcomes. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts in 2022-2023, indicating that there may be effective teaching practices in certain areas that could be replicated across grade levels.

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.
