Oakview Elementary School

Q: Is Oakview Elementary School a good school?

Oakview Elementary School ranks 191 st of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oakview Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Stoneboro, PA, serving 376 students as part of the Mercer Area School District. This high-performing school consistently outpaces state and district averages in academic achievement, with particularly strong results in Math, Science, and English Language Arts.

Oakview Elementary excels at supporting its most vulnerable student populations, ranking among the top 60 and 70 Pennsylvania elementary schools for low-income and disabled students, respectively. This success is likely driven by the school's higher per-student spending, which has increased from $16,461 in 2018-2019 to $23,147 in 2021-2022, as well as its low student-teacher ratio ranging from 8.5 to 10.3 over the past three years. In comparison, nearby schools like Greenville Elementary School and Central Elementary School have higher student-teacher ratios and lower per-student spending.

Oakview Elementary's student population is predominantly White, reflecting the broader demographics of the Stoneboro area. However, the school's consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years, ranking it in the top 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, suggests it has implemented effective strategies to support all students, regardless of their background. This level of sustained excellence is a testament to Oakview's commitment to educational excellence and could provide valuable insights for other schools in the Franklin Area School District and the surrounding region.

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.
