Summary

Oakhurst Elementary serves 333 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in the Oakhurst area of Madera County, within the Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary district. In 2025–26, proficiency was 30% in English language arts, 22% in math and 16% in science, below both state and district averages in every subject. The central concern is that results are low across the board, with the largest district shortfall in science: 9 percentage points.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot, though it still trails state, district and nearby-school results: its 22% proficiency rate was 17 points below the state and 2 points below the district. Compared with nearby schools, Oakhurst ranked fourth of eight in both ELA and math, but last of seven in science; its science rate of 16% was well below the nearby-school average of 30%. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 30%, compared with 18% statewide and 24% in the district, and was higher than every nearby school with a reported rate. The next highest was Raymond-Knowles Elementary at 26%.

Proficiency has fallen since 2022–23: ELA dropped 10 percentage points, math 13 and science 15, while state rates rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 52nd percentile and 3 stars to the 18th percentile and 1 star. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 18.5 in 2024–25, below the nearby-school average of 20.1, and 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—the highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also point to a sharp recent decline for Special Education Students: the group’s percentile fell from 67 in 2024–25 to 24 in 2025–26, while the school overall ranked at the 18th percentile.
