Summary:
Oakley has one listed middle school, Oakley Middle School, serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 135 students. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 32% in English language arts, 28% in math, and 25% in science, compared with statewide results of 46%, 41%, and 38%. That puts the school 14 percentage points below the state in ELA, 13 points below in math, and 13 points below in science. The most important finding is that the school’s all-grade results are below the statewide benchmark in all three tested subjects, by an average of 13 points.
There is no separate local top or bottom school to compare; the clearest contrasts are between grades at Oakley Middle School. Seventh-grade math stands out positively: 55% were proficient, 17 points above the state’s 38%. Fifth-grade math is the sharpest concern, at 10% proficient versus 45% statewide—a 35-point shortfall. The school’s results in those two grades differ by 45 points. Grade 6 ELA is also notably below its state comparison, 24% versus 42%, a 19-point gap. Against the Oakley district, all-grade science is a relative bright spot: the school is 3 points higher, while its ELA and math results are 7 and 6 points lower.
Across the two years supplied, the average gap with the state widened from 11 to 13 points: the school’s average proficiency fell by 2 points, while the state average was essentially unchanged. The school’s ELA result rose by 1 point, but math fell by 2 and science by 6. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from 166th of 362 schools and the 54th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024 to 270th of 368 and the 27th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the state rate in 2025–2026—9% versus 18%—and slightly higher than the district’s 8%. The student–teacher ratio was 13.3 and the free/reduced-lunch rate was 58% in 2024–2025.
