Summary:
Oakley has three public schools—Oakley Elementary (PK–4), Oakley Middle School (grades 5–8), and Oakley Senior High (grades 9–12)—serving 130 to 191 students each. The strongest academic results depend on the subject: Elementary leads in English language arts (ELA), High leads in math, and both schools reporting science results are well below the state rate. That subject-by-subject variation, especially the science shortfall, is the most important finding for families comparing the schools.
In 2025–2026, Elementary had the highest all-grades ELA result at 54%, compared with 32% at Middle and 29% at High; Elementary was 8 percentage points above the state rate. High led math at 58%, 17 points above the state, while Middle had the lowest math result at 28%, 13 points below the state. Middle posted the stronger of the two reported science results—25% versus High’s 17%—but both were below the 38% state rate. High also stands out for graduation: its 2023–2024 rate was 100%, compared with 90% statewide.
Recent results are mixed rather than improving across the board. From the prior year, Elementary ELA rose 5 points while its math result fell 5; Middle ELA rose 1 point, but math fell 2 and science fell 6. High math rose 7 points, while its ELA result was essentially unchanged. SchoolDigger’s rank percentile rose from 40 to 45 for Elementary and from 30 to 41 for High between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, but fell from 54 to 27 for Middle; High had peaked at 59 in between. High has the lowest student-teacher ratio, 8.7 compared with 14.5 at Elementary and 13.3 at Middle. Reported free/reduced-lunch rates were similar at Elementary and High, at about 48% each, and higher at Middle, at 58%; these figures are context, not an explanation for school results.
