Summary

Oakbrooke Elementary School in Sherwood, AR, serves 408 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Pulaski County Special School District. The school has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, placing it in the middle-to-lower tier of Arkansas elementary schools. With 57% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, Oakbrooke has a moderate level of economic diversity, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 is lower than many nearby schools, suggesting smaller class sizes.

Oakbrooke’s strongest academic area is science, where 5th graders achieve a standout 66.1% proficiency rate—far exceeding both the district (47.3%) and state (43.8%) averages. However, math is a significant weakness, with overall proficiency at 30.6% compared to the state average of 44.1%. English Language Arts (ELA) shows a positive trend, improving to 33.9% and consistently outperforming the district average. Interestingly, 5th graders outperform 3rd and 4th graders in nearly every subject, suggesting a particularly effective teaching team or curriculum at that grade level. Despite spending $13,741 per student—more than higher-performing peers like Sherwood Elementary (68th percentile) and Sylvan Hills Elementary (56th percentile)—Oakbrooke’s results lag behind, indicating that instructional strategy, not funding, may be the key area for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Oakbrooke sits in a middle ground. It is outperformed by Sherwood Elementary and Sylvan Hills, but outperforms William Jefferson Clinton Elementary (15th percentile) and Harris Elementary (4th percentile). Notably, schools in the North Little Rock School District like Lakewood Elementary and Crestwood Elementary achieve top-tier results despite serving 100% economically disadvantaged populations, proving that high performance is possible regardless of demographics. Oakbrooke’s declining state ranking over the past decade—from a 3-star school to its current 2-star rating—highlights the need for targeted improvements, particularly in math instruction, to reverse this trend.
