Summary

Oak Meadows Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 818 students in the Menifee Union School District, performing close to state averages academically while serving a community with significant economic need.

The school has clear strengths, particularly in science and math where it outperforms both district and state averages, and it has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism. It shows notable effectiveness in supporting specific groups, including military-connected families and African American students. However, performance varies widely between grade levels, with fifth grade doing very well in English while third grade struggles, and the school faces significant challenges in supporting its English Language Learners.

Compared to nearby schools, Oak Meadows performs similarly to Southshore Elementary but lags behind higher-performing schools in its own district like Sally Buselt Elementary and Harvest Hill S.T.E.A.M. Academy. It also generally trails top schools in the neighboring Murrieta Valley Unified district, such as Antelope Hills Elementary and Tovashal Elementary, though it does outperform Avaxat Elementary.
