of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 3% of California elementary schools

Summary

Oasis Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 488 students in Thermal, California, within the Coachella Valley Unified district, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 3% of all California elementary schools.

The school's academic performance is well below average, with fewer than 1 in 5 students proficient in English and fewer than 1 in 10 proficient in Math or Science. Chronic student absenteeism, while improving, remains high at 33%. This is particularly notable because other nearby schools with very similar student populations achieve much stronger results. For example, Peter Pendleton Elementary shows that much higher achievement is possible, ranking in the 68th percentile with math proficiency over 50%, while Las Palmitas Elementary and Palm View Elementary also outperform Oasis in both ranking and test scores.

Despite a recent doubling of per-student spending to over $30,000, academic results have not improved, suggesting resources may not be effectively targeted. The school shows a relative strength in serving English Language Learners, but struggles significantly in supporting students in the upper elementary grades, especially in 5th grade math. The comparison to higher-performing schools like Peter Pendleton indicates that the challenges at Oasis may be addressable through different instructional approaches or support systems.
