Summary

Oakland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Oakland, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school is part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 64 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakland Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 557 and 676 out of around 700 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. This is due to the school's consistently low academic performance, particularly in mathematics, reading, science, writing, and social studies, where proficiency rates lag behind the Warren County and Kentucky state averages. Additionally, Oakland Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Warren County School District, such as Cumberland Trace Elementary and Briarwood Elementary, significantly outperform Oakland Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels. These higher-performing schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
