Summary

Oaks Middle is a public middle school serving 668 students in grades 7-8 within the Ontario-Montclair School District, consistently earning a 3-star rating and outperforming many expectations given its student population.

Academically, the school shines in Science and English Language Arts, scoring above both the district and state averages. Its science program is a particular standout, with proficiency rates notably higher than most nearby schools, including Vina Danks Middle and Vernon Middle. While math scores are slightly below the state average, they remain solid. The school has shown impressive improvement in reducing chronic student absences over the past few years.

Perhaps most importantly, Oaks Middle demonstrates exceptional effectiveness in supporting students who need it most, including those from low-income families, English learners, and students in special education, ranking in the top tiers statewide for these groups. Within its own district, it is a strong second to top-performer Serrano Middle, and it achieves these outcomes even while operating with a higher student-to-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several comparison schools.
