Oster-Oakview School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Oster-Oakview School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in New Lenox, Illinois, with an enrollment of 365 students. The school's performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics has generally been lower than the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 50.6% of Oster-Oakview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 67.1% for the New Lenox School District 122 and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the school had 44.7% proficient or better, while the district and state had 58% and 38.5%, respectively.

Oster-Oakview School's performance also lags behind some nearby middle schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Nelson Ridge School had 67.8% of students proficient or better in ELA, and Bentley Elementary School had 79.8%. Additionally, Mokena Junior High School in the Mokena School District 159 had 76.6% of students proficient or better in ELA, and Hickory Creek Middle School in the Frankfort CCSD 157C had 93.3%.

The school's challenges may be related to its increasing free/reduced lunch rate, which has risen from 15.03% in 2021-2022 to 19.45% in 2023-2024, as well as its fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 10.5% to 26.3% in recent years. Despite higher spending per student, which has increased from $12,520 in 2020-2021 to $14,677 in 2023-2024, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Oster-Oakview School appears to be underperforming compared to its peers. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support services could help identify areas for improvement and strategies to better support student learning.
