Summary:

The Oxford School District in Connecticut is home to two elementary schools: Quaker Farms School and Great Oak Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data suggests a significant disparity in their academic performance.

Great Oak Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 81.7% of 5th graders at Great Oak Elementary School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.5% statewide. Additionally, Great Oak Elementary School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively more affluent student population.

In contrast, Quaker Farms School spends significantly more per student ($18,362) compared to Great Oak Elementary School ($14,672) for the 2018-2019 school year, but this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Both schools also have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, with 17.7% of students chronically absent at each school in 2023-2024, which may be an area for the district to focus on improving.
