Summary

Oak Ridge Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 495 students in San Jose's Oak Grove Elementary district, consistently performing above state averages in a neighborhood with a wide range of school performance.

The school is a strong, stable choice, earning a 4-star rating and outperforming both the district and state in English, Math, and Science. It manages student attendance exceptionally well, with a low chronic absenteeism rate that is among the best in the district. Notably, Oak Ridge achieves these solid academic results while serving a more economically diverse student population than some higher-performing nearby schools like Indigo. It demonstrates better academic returns on investment than some peers with similar or higher spending, such as Anderson (Alex) Elementary.

While Oak Ridge is a high-performing school overall, there are areas for growth. The school has seen recent declines in performance for its English Learner and Special Education students. Additionally, there are performance gaps between female and male students. Compared to other schools in the area, like Santa Teresa Elementary or Edenvale Elementary, Oak Ridge occupies a strong middle ground, offering reliable quality without the extreme performance fluctuations seen at some other district schools.
