Summary

Oakridge Elementary School in Hollywood, FL, is a public school serving 411 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward County Public School District, where a high percentage of students (59.61%) come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Oakridge faces significant challenges, most notably a crisis-level chronic absenteeism rate of 52.8% in the 2023-2024 school year—far exceeding the district average of 33.6% and dramatically higher than nearby schools like Beachside Montessori Village (5.9%) or Sunshine Elementary Charter School (36.6%). Despite spending more per student ($18,657) than any neighboring school—including high-performing Hollywood Academy of Arts & Science ($10,303) and struggling Sunshine Elementary ($9,560)—academic results have historically been low. However, there is a clear upward trend: Oakridge’s state ranking has climbed from the 3rd percentile (2021-2022) to the 19th percentile (2025-2026), while Sunshine Elementary has declined from the 14th to the 6th percentile over the same period.

An interesting pattern emerges in test scores: 3rd graders significantly outperformed 5th graders in both English Language Arts (52% vs. 44%) and Math (64% vs. 32%) in the most recent year, suggesting effective early intervention programs but a potential cumulative impact of absenteeism in later grades. There is also a glimmer of hope in science, where 5th-grade proficiency improved from 27% (2023-2024) to 38% (2025-2026). Oakridge’s future success likely hinges on solving its absenteeism crisis and replicating the strong primary-grade results across all grade levels.
