The school is part of the Brentwood Union Free School District, which is ranked 810 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Park Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments.

The school's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, also consistently perform below their peers statewide. As a result, Oak Park Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

While Brentwood Union Free School District schools generally struggle, the nearby schools within the same district, such as Twin Pines Elementary, Laurel Park Elementary, and Hemlock Elementary, generally perform better academically than Oak Park Elementary School. These schools have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger. The low academic performance of Oak Park Elementary School may be influenced by a combination of factors, such as the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the challenges faced by the Brentwood Union Free School District as a whole, and potential resource or instructional issues within the school itself.

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.
