Summary

Oakland High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Oakland, Illinois, with a student population of 65. The school is part of the Oakland CUSD 5 district, which is ranked 695 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakland High School has shown some academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, 84.6% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts and ACT/Science, significantly higher than the state averages of 51.7% and 48.7%, respectively. However, the school's performance in ACT/Mathematics for 11th-grade students (69.2%) was still higher than the state average (39.3%), but not as impressive as the English Language Arts and Science results. The school has also maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.7% to 92.3% in recent years, which are generally higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Oakland High School has some strengths and weaknesses. Its graduation rates and dropout rates are generally similar to or better than the nearby schools, and its academic performance in certain subjects is stronger. However, the school's performance in ACT/Mathematics lags behind some of the nearby schools, such as Villa Grove High School and Tuscola High School. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated, ranging from 15.6% to 26.3% in recent years, which could be an area of concern.
