Oakmont Elementary School

Summary:

Oakmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving around 280 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakmont Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts that are significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other nearby schools within the Columbus City Schools District, such as Liberty Elementary School and Shady Lane Elementary School. However, when compared to schools in other districts, such as Herbert Mills Elementary School in Reynoldsburg or Tussing Elementary School in Pickerington, Oakmont's performance lags behind.

The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 65.9% in the 2020-2021 school year, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.6 to 20.6 in recent years, could also be a factor. While Oakmont Elementary School's spending per student ($11,483 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the school.

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.

Open Quote Principal only cares about test scores and her reputation. She is actively creating an environment where fighting is encouraged to make to one tougher. She makes students leave in ways that have to illegal if they cause her too much trouble Close Quote

Open Quote From the time you walk in Oakmont Elementary School from the office personnel we went to the teachers,. Also the safety of the children is also put into care and effort led by mrs. Fairchild. The school has a very good friendly spirit. Our teacher is Miss Brucker and Miss Fida, both are very cordial professional and extremely devoted women in the field of teachers. My name is Steven dodero and my child's name is Levi and we're very happy campers Close Quote

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.
