of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of California elementary schools

Summary

Oak Avenue Elementary is a top-ranked K-6 public school with 334 students in the affluent community of Los Altos, part of the highly-regarded Los Altos Elementary district.

The school consistently delivers elite academic results, with recent proficiency rates near 90% in English, Math, and Science—far exceeding state averages—and it maintains a remarkable record of student attendance with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.6%. Its performance is remarkably stable year-to-year, and it shows particular strength in upper-grade math and science. While it operates with substantial resources, it achieves better outcomes than some nearby schools that spend even more per student.

Oak Avenue is one of three exceptional schools in its district, alongside Springer Elementary and Loyola Elementary, though it differentiates itself with its exceptionally low absenteeism and strong science scores. The comparison highlights how district boundaries matter; schools just a mile or two away in different districts, like Vargas Elementary in the Sunnyvale district, can have dramatically different academic profiles despite their proximity.

We adore Oak School. SEL is top notch, as are the teachers. My child has thrived in this environment and now loves reading AND math, which was a tricky one for us. Close Quote
