Summary

Oakland Elementary School in Royal Oak, MI, is a K-5 school with 242 students, part of the highly-rated Royal Oak Schools district, and has earned a 4-star rating with an 83rd percentile ranking for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school has shown remarkable improvement over the past decade, climbing from a 2-star rating in the late 2010s to its current 4-star status. Oakland Elementary significantly outperforms its immediate geographic neighbors—for example, its 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate of 58.7% is more than double the 25% rate at Hoover Elementary School in Hazel Park, just 1.5 miles away. Even compared to its same-district peer, Keller Elementary, Oakland shows a slight edge in most subjects. One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance with male students, ranking in the 90th percentile—a remarkable achievement. The school also excels with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 84th percentile despite having 30% of students on free/reduced lunch. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and higher per-student spending ($20,151) than nearby schools, Oakland provides smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.

However, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism sits at 22.5%, higher than the district average and more than double the rate at Keller Elementary (11.1%), though it has improved significantly from a peak of 50% in 2021-2022. Additionally, while the school excels in ELA, 5th-grade math proficiency (40.8%) lags well behind 3rd-grade (71.7%), suggesting a potential challenge as students progress. The school also shows a gender gap—while boys rank in the 90th percentile, girls rank in the 67th—indicating an opportunity to apply successful strategies more broadly. For parents, Oakland Elementary offers a strong, improving academic environment with notable strengths in supporting boys and students facing economic challenges, though attendance and upper-grade math are worth monitoring.
