Summary

Oak Avenue Elementary is a 334-student K–6 school in Los Altos, served by the Los Altos Elementary district. Its proficiency results are exceptionally high: about 92% in English language arts (ELA) and math, and 84% in science in 2025–26. The most important finding is that Oak ranks second among nearby schools in ELA and math and first in science.

Oak’s results are well above state and district levels, with science its clearest local strength. In 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 92% at Oak, compared with 87% districtwide and 49% statewide; math was 92%, versus 87% and 38%; science was 84%, versus 83% and 36%. Among nearby schools, Oak’s science rate is highest, while Springer Elementary edges it in ELA and math. Fifth-grade ELA is a relative soft spot: Oak recorded 86%, near the district’s 86%, and below Springer at 92%, Montclaire Elementary at 88%, and Cherry Chase Elementary at 87%. All-grade peer averages are descriptive because nearby schools have different grade spans, and sixth-grade peer data are unavailable.

Oak’s ELA and math results have stayed high, while science has declined over the reported years. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose by less than a point, math fell by about a point, and science fell by about 5 points; the science gap over the state narrowed by about 11 points as state results rose faster. SchoolDigger ranks Oak #10 of 5,804 statewide and gives it 5 stars; Springer Elementary is next among nearby schools at #12. Oak’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 20.0 is close to the nearby average. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 2.7% in 2024–25, tied with Loyola Elementary for the lowest among nearby schools. These are context measures, not explanations for the results.

We adore Oak School. SEL is top notch, as are the teachers. My child has thrived in this environment and now loves reading AND math, which was a tricky one for us. Close Quote
