Oakley

Summary:

The Oakley school district in Kansas consists of three schools: Oakley Elementary, Oakley Middle School, and Oakley Senior High. The district faces several challenges, including declining performance at the middle school level, inconsistent performance across grade levels, and potential equity concerns related to socioeconomic factors.

Oakley Senior High stands out as a relatively small school with a high 4-year graduation rate and strong performance in mathematics, though it lags behind in English Language Arts. In contrast, Oakley Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and performance in both subject areas. Oakley Elementary and Oakley Middle School generally perform below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades.

The district as a whole faces challenges related to high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients, which may be impacting student performance. The district's overall ranking of 145 out of 264 in Kansas, along with the 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicates room for improvement in the quality of education provided. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions could help improve the overall performance of the Oakley school district.
