Summary

Oakman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dearborn, Michigan, serving 265 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dearborn City School District, which is ranked 279 out of 613 school districts in the state.

Oakman Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grades and subjects performing better than the district and state averages, while others have struggled, particularly in math and science. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.2% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Oakman serves a predominantly disadvantaged population, with 92.47% to 97.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,329 to $19,728, the academic outcomes have not been consistently strong.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Dearborn district, such as Lowrey Elementary and William Ford Elementary, Oakman's performance is generally on par or slightly below. However, Iris Becker Elementary, another Dearborn school, has consistently outperformed Oakman on state assessments. When compared to schools outside the Dearborn district, such as Gardner Elementary in Detroit and the charter schools Detroit Premier Academy and Riverside Academy, Oakman's performance is significantly higher, reflecting the broader academic challenges faced by schools in the Detroit area.
