Oakley Elementary

Summary:

Oakley Elementary is a public elementary school in New Caney, Texas, serving 841 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the New Caney Independent School District, which is ranked 712 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakley Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (around 70%) and lower percentage of White students (around 25%) than the surrounding area. Academically, Oakley consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with STAAR test scores that are 10-20 percentage points below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. Over 80% of Oakley's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage, and the school spends around $10,700 per student, which is lower than some nearby schools.

The consistent underperformance of Oakley Elementary, across all student subgroups, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population. Nearby schools with higher percentages of White and Asian students, lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, and higher spending per student tend to have stronger academic performance, providing a stark contrast to the challenges faced by Tavola Elementary, Elm Grove Elementary, and other schools in the New Caney ISD and Humble ISD.

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.
