Summary

Oxford Day Academy is a small public high school serving about 108 students in grades 9-12 within its own Oxford Day Academy District in East Palo Alto, a community facing significant educational disparities despite being located near some of California's highest-performing schools.

The school faces considerable challenges, including an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 43-to-1, which is more than double that of nearby schools like East Palo Alto Academy (12.9-to-1) and KIPP Esperanza High (10.2-to-1). Academic proficiency in English and math is well below state averages, and the school has shown volatile performance in statewide rankings, though it improved significantly from the 1st to the 20th percentile in the most recent year. A particularly concerning figure is a recent dropout rate of 45.5%, which is far higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Despite these struggles, Oxford Day Academy has one notable strength: remarkably low chronic absenteeism, at just 3.5% compared to a 19.4% state average. This is a stark contrast to other local schools with similar student populations. The school also operates with lower per-student spending than most neighbors. While recent ranking improvements are encouraging, the school's extreme class sizes and inconsistent results suggest it is a school in transition, working to overcome significant resource constraints within a complex local educational landscape.
