The school faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 49.81%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the high per-student spending of $24,283 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.5, the school's academic performance has not consistently matched the district's stronger performance. Overall, Oak Terrace Elementary School appears to be a reasonably performing school within the North Shore School District 112, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
