Summary

Oak Meadows Elementary is a K–5 school in Murrieta, California, serving 818 students in the Menifee Union district. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were above state and district results in all three reported subjects, but the clearest concern is math: Oak scored 6 points below the nearby K–5 average, and fourth-grade math was especially low at 36%—7 points below the state and 11 below the district.

Science is Oak’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 45% of students were proficient, versus 41% at nearby K–5 schools on average, 36% statewide, and 38% districtwide; Oak ranked third among the ten K–5 schools in the comparison. ELA proficiency was 54%, about even with nearby schools’ 54% average, and above the state’s 49% and district’s 48%. Math proficiency was 42%, above the state and district rates of 38% but below the nearby average of 47%; seven of nine nearby K–5 schools scored higher. The fourth-grade dip is clear in ELA too: 44% were proficient, below both the state’s 46% and district’s 48%.

Results have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 7 points to 54%, math rose 5 points to 42%, and science rose 11 points to 45%. Chronic absenteeism also fell 22 points, from 33% in 2021–22 to 11% in 2025–26, though the latest rate was 1 point above the district’s. SchoolDigger ranks Oak in the 65th percentile statewide and gives it 3 stars for 2025–26; six of nine nearby K–5 schools have higher percentiles. Oak’s 22.1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 was the lowest among those schools, while 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger ranked English Language Learner students in the 6th percentile in 2023–24, compared with Oak’s overall 64th percentile that year, a notably low ranking for how well the school serves that group.
