Oaks Academy

Summary:

Oaks Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Boerne, Texas, serving grades 1-12 with a total enrollment of 45 students. The school is part of the Great Hearts Texas district, and its student population has become more diverse in recent years, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students.

Oaks Academy's performance has been mixed compared to nearby schools. While the school has seen significant fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from a low of 50.0% in 2020-2021 to a high of 100.0% in 2022-2023, its dropout rates have also been volatile, ranging from 0.0% in 2021-2022 to 14.3% in 2020-2021. On STAAR assessments, Oaks Academy outperforms the district in some subject areas, such as 8th grade Social Studies and Algebra I, but underperforms in others, like 8th grade Reading and Science. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.3 to 7.4 over the past three years, may indicate a more personalized learning environment, but it is unclear how this factor translates into academic outcomes.

Oaks Academy serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.3% to 95.71% over the past three years. This is notably higher than the rates at nearby schools, such as Great Hearts Online - Tx and Great Hearts Forest Heights, which are also public charter schools. The school's performance and outcomes may be influenced by these socioeconomic factors, and further investigation is needed to understand how Oaks Academy can better support its students and align with the success of its peers.

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.
