Oak Springs Elementary

Summary:

Oak Springs Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 233 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 554 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Springs Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating very poor academic outcomes. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 14.71% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in reading, compared to 55.65% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Maplewood Elementary and Norman-Sims Elementary perform significantly better than Oak Springs Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. For example, Maplewood Elementary's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 59.02% in 2023-2024, compared to just 14.71% at Oak Springs. Additionally, Oak Springs Elementary's high per-student spending of $13,439 in 2020-2021 suggests that the school is receiving significant resources, but these resources have not translated into improved academic performance, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
