Summary

Oxford Elementary School in Oxford, AL, serves 837 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Oxford City district, with a favorable 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio and a moderate level of economic diversity, as 56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable success in closing achievement gaps. Oxford Elementary ranks in the 86th percentile statewide for African American students and has earned 5-star ratings for Hispanic students in recent years, while also ranking in the 79th percentile for students from low-income backgrounds. These results are particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools like Golden Springs Elementary and Randolph Park Elementary in the Anniston City district, which rank in the bottom 10-13% statewide despite serving similar demographics. Academically, the school consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts and Science, with 69% of 3rd graders and 69% of 4th graders proficient in ELA, and 57% proficient in 4th grade science. The school also maintains a notably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 10%, well below the district average of 14.2%.

While Oxford Elementary has some areas needing attention—English Language Learner performance has declined significantly from the 92nd to 44th percentile over two years, and overall state rankings have slipped from the 85th to 68th percentile since 2019—the school remains a strong choice in the region. It outperforms Saks Elementary (26th percentile) and Wellborn Elementary (34th percentile) in Calhoun County, while remaining competitive with top performers like Alexandria Elementary (80th percentile). With efficient resource allocation and strong support for diverse learners, Oxford Elementary offers a solid, equitable education foundation for young students.
