Summary:
Oakdale Joint Unified has one middle school, Oakdale Junior High, serving about 780 students in grades 7 and 8 in the Oakdale Joint Unified district.
This school shows a clear strength in science, where student proficiency is higher than both the district and state averages. However, performance in English and, especially, mathematics lags behind these same benchmarks, with math scores being a notable area for improvement. The school has maintained a consistent average rating over recent years, but its statewide ranking has declined, which coincides with a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than average.
For parents, the data suggests a school with a solid foundation but specific challenges. The higher spending per student indicates resources are available, and the strong science program is a positive sign. The key areas to watch are the efforts to improve mathematics achievement and reduce student absences, as progress here would likely help the school improve its overall academic standing.
