Oaklawn Elementary

Summary:

Oaklawn Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 456 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oaklawn Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools with a 0-star rating. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages, with only 21.05% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 32.84% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups. Additionally, Oaklawn has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Clifford Davis Elementary, A.M. Pate Elementary, and Glen Park Elementary.

The racial composition of Oaklawn Elementary is predominantly Hispanic (85.09%), which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District. This racial imbalance may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for targeted interventions and support for its student population. To address these issues, the district and school administration should consider implementing strategies to improve academic performance, such as increased support, professional development for teachers, and community engagement initiatives, as well as exploring ways to equitably distribute resources across the district.

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.
