Summary

Fair Oaks Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 785 students in the Oakdale Joint Unified district, consistently performing above the state average in a stable and efficient manner.

The school has clear academic strengths, particularly in mathematics where it outperforms both district and state averages by a significant margin. It also shows remarkable success in supporting student attendance, having achieved the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among its district peers like Cloverland Elementary and Sierra View Elementary. While not the absolute top performer in the district, Fair Oaks delivers these strong results with a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch than other local schools and does so with efficient use of resources, maintaining competitive outcomes despite a higher student-teacher ratio than some neighbors.

Performance varies by grade, with sixth graders excelling and third graders facing more challenges in English. The school's results are notably stronger than those in neighboring districts such as Riverbank Unified, where schools like California Avenue Elementary rank much lower. Areas for potential growth include stabilizing science scores, which fluctuate year-to-year, and understanding an unusual pattern where male students currently outperform female students, which is atypical at the elementary level.
