Summary

Oakview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ashland, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 296 students. The school is part of the Ashland Independent School District, which is ranked 76 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakview Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is generally lower than the Ashland Independent district and the state of Kentucky averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Oakview's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 35%, compared to 44% for the district and 43% for the state. The school's performance in other subjects, such as reading, science, writing, and social studies, also lags behind the district and state averages. However, the school's special education students perform relatively well, with the 4th-grade special education students ranking in the top 108 out of 279 Kentucky elementary schools in 2023-2024.

Oakview Elementary School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.9% to 31.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's average chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While these challenges may present significant obstacles, the school's strong performance for its special education students suggests that it has the potential to effectively support students with specific learning needs. By understanding the unique needs and strengths of its student population and collaborating with other schools in the district, Oakview Elementary School may be able to develop effective strategies to enhance student learning and achievement.
