Summary
Oak Hill Elementary is a K–5 school in Escondido, California, in the Escondido Union district, serving 679 students. Its clearest concern is academic performance: in 2025–26, the school had the lowest all-grade English language arts (ELA) and math proficiency among seven nearby K–5 schools with results.
ELA and math are the school’s weakest areas relative to nearby schools, the district, and the state. In 2025–26, 20% of students were proficient in ELA and 18% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide, and 35% and 29% in the district. The nearby K–5 averages were 28% in both subjects, leaving the school below those averages as well. Science is a relative bright spot, though not a strong result overall: 16% were proficient, about 4 points below the nearby-school average of 19%, 10 points below the district, and 20 points below the state.
Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell 3 points and math fell 1 point, while science rose 6 points. Chronic absenteeism also improved substantially, dropping 35 points from 2021–22, but remained 24% in 2025–26—6 points above the district and 5 above the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 8th statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26; its student–teacher ratio was 19.9 in 2024–25, and 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking suggests a relative strength in serving English Language Learner Students: the group ranked at the 34th percentile in 2021–22, compared with the school’s overall 15th percentile. Its ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 26th percentile in 2023–24 to the 7th in 2024–25, then was at the 8th percentile in 2025–26.
