Summary

United Oaks Elementary School in Hazel Park, MI, serves 363 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Hazel Park School District of the City of, a community where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

United Oaks faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 15% to 25% and math proficiency between 7% and 18%—well below state averages of roughly 41% and 32-43%, respectively. However, the school stands as the top performer within its own district, consistently outpacing Hoover Elementary School in both subjects. For example, in 4th-grade math, United Oaks achieved an 18.1% proficiency rate compared to Hoover's 8.5%. While Webb Elementary School sometimes posts higher ELA scores, United Oaks shows notable strength in 3rd and 4th-grade math. Chronic absenteeism, while high at 46.7%, is still better than the district average of 39.4% and far lower than nearby Schofield Elementary School (65.6%) and Madison District Early Childhood Education Center (63.7%).

One of the most interesting findings is that United Oaks spends a substantial $20,438 per student—more than the high-performing Oakland Elementary School in Royal Oak ($20,151) and significantly more than the charter Great Oaks Academy ($13,407)—yet outcomes remain low, suggesting that financial resources alone aren't the answer. The contrast with Oakland Elementary, just two miles away, is stark: Oakland achieves 40-70% proficiency with only 22.5% chronic absenteeism and a 30% free-lunch population. Despite the challenges, there is a positive trajectory—United Oaks' state ranking has improved from the 5th-6th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 10th-11th percentile in recent years, and 3rd-grade math showed improvement before a recent dip. The school also demonstrates a notable strength in serving its African American students, who rank in the 30th percentile statewide—a bright spot that could offer a blueprint for improving outcomes across the entire student body.
