Public Grades K-8

Summary

Oak Tree Community Day is a very small public elementary school in Palmdale, California, serving just 63 students in grades K-8 within the Palmdale Elementary district, where all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math below 2%, which is dramatically lower than other schools in the area like Cimarron Elementary or Innovations Academy of Palmdale. A major factor is chronic absenteeism, with over half of students missing a large amount of school, a rate nearly double the district average and much higher than most nearby schools.

Interestingly, Oak Tree has substantial resources, spending over $71,000 per student and maintaining a low 8-to-1 student-teacher ratio, yet outcomes remain poor. It shares this pattern with the similar Yellen Learning Center, suggesting small, high-needs schools in the district face common hurdles. For improvement, the school might look to strategies used by higher-performing local schools with similar student populations.
