Oakstone Community School

Summary:

Oakstone Community School is an alternative public charter school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 232 students in grades K-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 65.95% White, 11.64% African American, 6.47% Hispanic, 1.72% Asian, 0.43% Native American, and 13.79% two or more races.

Oakstone Community School faces several challenges, including fluctuating graduation rates that have ranged from 31.8% to 58.3% over the past few years, significantly lower than the state average of 80-90%. The school has also experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.4% to 12.9%, higher than the state average of 10-15%. Academically, the school's performance on Ohio State Tests varies, with some areas of strength, such as 5th-grade science and 4th-grade English Language Arts, but many areas of weakness, particularly in mathematics across multiple grade levels.

In comparison, the nearby Westwood Preparatory Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio of 11.3, compared to Oakstone Community School's ratio of 5.2 to 6.2. While Oakstone's lower ratio suggests more individualized attention, its academic performance and graduation rates are generally lower than Westwood Preparatory Academy. This raises questions about the effectiveness of Oakstone's educational model and the factors that contribute to these differences.

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.
