Summary:
The Oasis Charter Public District consists of a single elementary school, Oasis Charter Public, serving grades K-6 with 193 students in Salinas.
This school is facing significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates far below state averages in all subjects, particularly in mathematics where only 7.78% of students are proficient compared to 37.3% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped sharply in recent years. However, a closer look shows some variation by grade, with sixth-grade English Language Arts scores nearing the state average, suggesting areas of relative strength. Chronic absenteeism, at 23.6%, is higher than the state average and likely impacts learning.
Notably, the school operates with substantial resources, spending $28,501 per student, which is significantly above typical California public school funding. This creates a notable contrast between its high level of investment and its current academic outcomes. For parents, this indicates a school with serious performance gaps that warrant attention, though the stronger upper-grade ELA results may point to potential pathways for improvement if those effective practices can be identified and expanded.
