Summary

Oakland Heights Elementary School in Russellville, AR, serves 503 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Russellville School District, a district that overall earns a 3-star rating but masks significant internal differences in school performance.

Oakland Heights faces substantial challenges, with 86% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a rate far higher than nearby high-performing schools like Center Valley Elementary (58%) and Sequoyah Elementary (55%). This economic disadvantage strongly correlates with the school's academic struggles. In math, only 30.5% of Oakland Heights students are proficient, compared to 50.6% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The school's state ranking has declined over the past decade, currently sitting at 363rd out of 491 elementary schools (26th percentile). Notably, Oakland Heights spends $13,650 per student—more than the higher-performing Sequoyah ($11,903) and Pottsville Elementary ($10,666)—suggesting that funding alone is not the solution.

There are a few bright spots. Science scores (38.9% proficient) are closer to the state average (44%) than math or reading, indicating a potential area of strength to build upon. However, a concerning pattern emerges in 4th grade, where proficiency drops sharply compared to 3rd grade, suggesting students may struggle with the transition to more advanced material. For parents, this school offers a dedicated staff working in a high-needs environment, but the data clearly shows that Oakland Heights is not performing at the level of its district peers, and families should be aware of the academic challenges their child may face.
