Summary:
The city of Oakdale, California is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District, except for one elementary school that is part of the Riverbank Unified School District. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, with Oakdale Charter standing out as the top-performing high school and Mesa Verde Elementary and East Stanislaus High struggling the most.
The high-performing Oakdale Charter boasts the highest test scores, a 100% graduation rate, and the lowest student-teacher ratio among the high schools. In contrast, the alternative Valley Oak Online Learning Academy faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. The data also suggests a correlation between the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic composition of a school's student population and its academic performance, with schools serving more disadvantaged students tending to have lower test scores and graduation rates.
Overall, the educational landscape in Oakdale is marked by significant disparities, with some schools, like Sierra View Elementary and Cloverland Elementary, consistently performing well, while others struggle. The presence of a high-performing charter school highlights the potential benefits of school choice, but access to such options may be limited for families in the area.
