Summary

Oak View Middle School in Newberry, FL, serves 962 students in grades 5 through 8 and is a consistent, reliable performer within the Alachua district, which ranks in the bottom half of Florida districts. The school has earned a steady 3-star rating over the past decade, with its state ranking fluctuating between the 60th and 72nd percentile, and about 44% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Oak View stands out for its exceptional advanced math program: in the 2025-2026 school year, 87% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 and 100% in Geometry, far exceeding district and state averages. This strength has been consistent for four years. The school also reverses the typical "8th-grade slump," with 74% of 8th graders proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 63% in Science—both well above district and state averages. Additionally, Oak View has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (27.1%) than the district (31.6%) and nearby peers like Fort Clarke Middle School (37.7%) and Westwood Middle School (33.3%).

Interestingly, Oak View achieves these results with lower spending per student ($9,053) compared to nearby schools like A. L. Mebane Middle School ($10,358) and Westwood Middle School ($10,601). While its standard grade-level math scores are more mixed—6th-grade FAST Math proficiency (55%) is below the state average (60%)—the school excels at accelerating top students into advanced courses. Compared to the small charter Alachua Learning Academy Middle, which achieves top-tier results with lower spending ($6,391 per student), Oak View's performance is impressive given its larger, more diverse student body. Overall, Oak View is a bright spot in the Alachua district, consistently outperforming district averages and offering a stable, effective educational environment.
