Summary

Oak Tree Elementary is a 384-student school serving prekindergarten through grade 6 in Gilbert, within the Gilbert Unified District. In 2025–26, 40% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 30% in math. The clearest concern is math: Oak Tree’s 30% proficiency rate was 3 points below the state’s 33% and 22 points below the district’s 52%.

Compared with nearby PK–6 schools, Oak Tree was below the peer average in both subjects: 40% in ELA versus an average of 43%, and 30% in math versus 40%. It ranked sixth of 10 schools in ELA and fifth in math, counting Oak Tree. Fifth grade stands out as a weak spot: its ELA proficiency was 31%, the lowest among comparable nearby schools with reported scores, and its math rate was 29%, also the lowest among peers with reported scores. Science is a bright spot: fifth-grade proficiency reached 50% in 2024–25, third-highest among nearby schools with reported scores, behind Neely Traditional Academy at 62% and Franklin Accelerated Academy - East Campus at 60%.

Science proficiency rose from 30% in 2022–23 to 50% in 2024–25, while available ELA and math results cover only 2025–26; science scores cover fifth grade. SchoolDigger ranked Oak Tree 531st of 900 Arizona schools, at the 41st percentile and 2 stars, in 2025–26, down 12 percentile points from the previous year; the district ranked at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars. Oak Tree’s student-teacher ratio was 11.7, second-lowest among nearby schools with data, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 51% in 2022–23; nearby lunch rates were not provided for comparison. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner students was at the 82nd percentile in 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 46th percentile. Its Special Education ranking shifted from the 86th percentile in 2020–21 to the 36th percentile in 2022–23; these are rankings, not proficiency rates.

We love this school. This is our 7th year at Oak Tree and we’ve benefitted so much by being a part of this community. The teachers are attentive and care about their students. The principal knows the kids and families by name. Class sizes are still small which has been a huge benefit. I believe the largest class my kids have been in was 21 students but 18 has been typical so far. The teachers have worked hard to provide after-school clubs like chess, drama, choir, cheer, and student council. Free family events are hosted by PTO after school a few times a year. The gifted/accelerated program has been great for my oldest. I am so glad that we picked Oak Tree. Close Quote
