Both of my daughter's attend Oakcrest. Despite their ranks of being one of worst performance for elementary schools, I have seen first hand just how hard the entire staff is working VERY HARD to change their low scores. I've seen more and more progress in the right direction each year that my daughter's have been student's there
(4 years). This year I predict, this will be HUGE year in positive changes. With our new (amazing) principal Mrs. J. Diane leinbach Oakcrest has nowhere to go but up. She's already shown us how just how caring and dedicated she is to helping the numbers go up. I love most of all her commitment to communicate with the parents /guardians with each us through ALL recourses possible. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
