Summary:
The Oakland School District 1 in Oregon consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools share a district, they exhibit varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation.
Oakland High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 97 out of 258 Oregon high schools and outperforming the district and state averages in 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Oakland Elementary School struggles with proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, falling well below state averages. Lincoln Middle School also performs well, ranking 165 out of 380 Oregon middle schools and exceeding the state average in 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, with Oakland Elementary School having a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.32%) compared to the other schools (around 48%). This disparity may contribute to the lower academic performance observed at the elementary school. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Oakland High School ($18,908) compared to the other schools ($15,873 and $15,580) may be a factor in its stronger academic performance.
