Despite the higher per-student spending at Oakwood Elementary, the school's academic performance remains lower than the district and state averages. Oakwood Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.1% to 27.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are also consistently lower than the Anne Arundel County Public Schools and Maryland state averages across all grade levels.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, March 13, 2010

Both of my children are attending this nice little elementary school during the 2009-2010 school year. The principal, support staff, and most of the teachers are genuinely concerned about the success of the students. As with most schools in Maryland, there is too much emphasis on the MSA tests in the spring. Close Quote
