Summary

Oakland Elementary School is a K–4 school with 192 students in Lafayette, Indiana, part of the Lafayette School Corporation. It is the smallest school among nearby peers and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.1. In 2025–2026, Oakland’s all-grades ILEARN proficiency was 52.24% in ELA, 53.73% in Math, and 39.47% in Science—all above district averages. Its 2025–2026 school rank is 423 out of 1,015 schools (58th percentile, 3 stars), higher than its district’s overall standing. Third grade is exceptionally strong: ELA 72.41% and Math 79.31%, far above district and state levels. Fourth grade is much weaker: ELA 36.84% and Math 34.21%, below district and state levels; Science is 39.47%, above the district but below the state. Because Oakland is small, grade-level results can be heavily influenced by cohort effects.

Compared with nearby schools, Oakland has the highest ELA proficiency among Lafayette School Corporation elementary peers and the second-highest Math, with Vinton Elementary School leading Math at 61.38%. Oakland also scores above Wea Ridge Elementary School in ELA and Math, and above Paramount School of Excellence Lafayette in both. West Lafayette Elementary School posts much higher ELA (74.86%) and Math (88.27%). Oakland’s per-student spending is $14,483, the highest among Lafayette School Corporation nearby schools and second only to Paramount School of Excellence Lafayette ($16,158) in the nearby group. Its chronic absenteeism, however, rose to 26.8% in 2024–2025 from 18.4% the prior year—above the district’s 24.6% and the state’s 16.7%. This is the clearest risk to sustained improvement.

Oakland’s free/reduced lunch rate is 69.27%, down from 74.61% in 2023–2024, and its ranking history is volatile, swinging between 4-star years and 2-star years before rebounding to 3 stars and the 58th percentile in 2025–2026. Overall, Oakland is a small, relatively well-resourced school that posts strong proficiency relative to its district and many nearby peers, especially in third grade and in ELA and Math overall. The main challenges are high and rising absenteeism and a weaker fourth-grade cohort, particularly in Math. If the school can address attendance and support current fourth-grade performance, its recent rebound may be more sustainable.
