Public Grades K-5

4913^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 16% of California elementary schools

Summary

Oakley Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 379 students in the Oakley Union Elementary district, which ranks in the lower third of all districts in California.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English (25%) and Math (20%) well below state averages. It ranks in the 16th percentile statewide, meaning it performs better than only 16% of California elementary schools. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, at 22.3%, which is higher than the district average and notably higher than nearby schools like Gehringer Elementary (16%) and Vintage Parkway Elementary (15.6%). There is also a large performance gap between female and male students at the school.

Interestingly, Oakley Elementary spends more per student ($18,044) than any other school in its district, yet it has the lowest academic outcomes. For comparison, Almond Grove Elementary in the same district spends less per student but achieves much higher proficiency rates. The school does show a relative strength in serving its special education students. Compared to schools in the higher-performing neighboring Brentwood Union district, such as Isaac R. Montanez Elementary, Oakley Elementary's results lag behind despite similar or higher funding levels.
