Summary

Oakland Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lafayette, Indiana, serving 193 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Lafayette School Corporation district, which is ranked 245 out of 380 districts in the state.

Oakland Elementary School has consistently outperformed the Lafayette School Corporation district and the state of Indiana in various ILEARN assessments, with 40.43% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math and 32.63% proficient in ILEARN English Language Arts, compared to 30.13% and 30.35% for the district, respectively. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 24.5% in recent years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, Oakland Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.77% to 74.61%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

While Oakland Elementary School outperforms the Lafayette School Corporation district in some academic metrics, it lags behind other nearby schools, such as Edgelea Elementary and Glen Acres Elementary, in terms of test scores and school rankings. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student, ranging from $9,985 to $14,483, suggest that it may have the resources and staffing to provide additional support and interventions for its students. By addressing the unique needs of its student population and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Oakland Elementary School can continue to improve and provide a quality education for its community.
