Summary

O'Hara Park Middle is a public middle school serving about 850 students in grades 6-8 within the Oakley Union Elementary district, and its academic performance has been declining over the past decade, now ranking in the bottom half of all California middle schools.

Academically, the school's test scores are below state averages, with math proficiency being a particular area of concern at less than half the state average. The school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, though its rate is better than some neighboring schools in the Antioch Unified district. There are significant differences in how well the school serves different groups of students, with a recent and severe drop in support for English Language Learners being the most alarming finding. The school's performance trends are similar to its district peer, Delta Vista Middle, suggesting broader district-wide challenges.

When compared to nearby districts, there is a notable performance gap; middle schools in the Brentwood Union district, such as Adams (J. Douglas) Middle and William B. Bristow Middle, achieve significantly higher rankings and proficiency rates. Key areas for the school to address include overhauling math instruction, urgently improving support for English Learners, and understanding the drop in performance in 7th grade.
