Summary

Iron House Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 500 students in Oakley, part of the Oakley Union Elementary district, which faces academic challenges across its schools.

The school's overall academic performance is below state averages, with particular struggles in mathematics, a trend seen throughout the district. However, performance varies widely by grade; for example, 5th graders perform closer to district averages in English, while 4th graders score significantly lower. Chronic absenteeism, at nearly 20%, is higher here than at most other district schools like Almond Grove Elementary or Gehringer Elementary. The school has shown notable recent improvement in serving its special education students.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts, the differences are stark. For instance, Isaac R. Montanez Elementary in the higher-performing Brentwood Union district has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English and math. Within its own district, Iron House receives less funding per student than Laurel Elementary or Oakley Elementary, yet its academic results are similar, suggesting how resources are used is a key factor.
