Summary

Oakley Elementary School in Union City, GA, serves approximately 733 students in grades PK-5 as part of Fulton County Schools, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Oakley has seen a dramatic improvement in student attendance, which is a bright spot for the school. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 27.3% in 2022-2023 to just 12.0% in 2025-2026—now better than the district average (16.6%) and state average (17.7%). This is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Heritage Elementary School (28.3%) and Feldwood Elementary School (29.2%), which have more than double Oakley's rate. However, academic performance remains a challenge. In 5th grade math, only 17.2% of Oakley students were proficient, compared to 56.5% district-wide and 44.1% statewide—a gap of nearly 40 points. Science proficiency in 5th grade was 26.3%, versus 55.8% for the district. The school's state ranking has slipped from the 40th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026, and its star rating dropped from 2 stars to 1 star.

One area of concern is special education, where Oakley's students rank in the 3rd percentile statewide—the lowest-performing subgroup at the school. On a positive note, Oakley spends $17,076 per student, which is lower than nearby schools like Lee Elementary School ($19,594) and Heritage Elementary School ($19,668), yet its results are comparable to or better than several of those schools. For context, Liberty Point Elementary School, just 4 miles away, achieves 50% proficiency in 5th grade math and ranks in the 61st percentile, showing that stronger outcomes are possible in the same district. Oakley's improved attendance provides a solid foundation, but targeted work in math and special education will be key to reversing the recent decline.
