Additionally, 5th-grade students at Oakland Academy struggle with Science and Social Studies, scoring below the state benchmarks in these subjects.
The school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a relatively high percentage of students (44.44%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status. Despite these factors, Oakland Academy maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
