Summary

Orchard Park is a K-8 elementary school serving 751 students in Oakley, California, as part of the Antioch Unified School District, which faces systemic challenges reflected in the school's overall 1-star rating and ranking in the bottom third of the state.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture: while its English and Science scores are stronger than its immediate Antioch Unified peers like Jack London Elementary and Grant Elementary, its math scores are below the state average. A notable strength is in upper-grade English, where 7th and 8th graders outperform state averages. The school has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate by more than half since 2022, and now has a better attendance record than other schools in its own district.

The most striking finding is the performance gap between the two local districts. Every school in the neighboring Oakley Union Elementary district, such as Almond Grove Elementary and Vintage Parkway Elementary, outperforms Orchard Park in rankings and test scores, despite often having similar or lower spending per student. This suggests that while Orchard Park has specific strengths to build upon, broader district-level factors significantly influence its outcomes.
