Summary

Oakbrook Elementary School in Sterling Heights, MI, is a mid-sized school serving 535 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Utica Community Schools district.

Oakbrook stands out for achieving strong academic results despite serving a student body where over 60% qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school consistently ranks in the 73rd to 79th percentile statewide, outperforming nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, Bruce Collins Elementary School (60% low-income) ranks in the 62nd percentile, while Schwarzkoff Elementary School (76% low-income) ranks in the 68th percentile. Oakbrook is particularly effective with student groups that often face achievement gaps—its African American students rank in the 90th percentile statewide, and its special education students jumped from the 56th to the 88th percentile in just one year. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 12.3%, far below the district average of 18.5% and less than half the state average of 27.9%.

Oakbrook's performance is remarkably stable, with test scores across all subjects and grades consistently above district and state averages. The school is especially strong in upper elementary grades, where 5th and 6th graders significantly outperformed averages in English Language Arts. Notably, Oakbrook achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,371) than many peers, including Jack Harvey Elementary School ($15,741) and Bruce Collins Elementary School ($16,815). While nearby Messmore Elementary School ranks higher overall, it serves a far less economically disadvantaged population (only 15.66% low-income), making Oakbrook's above-average results with a student body over four times more economically challenged particularly impressive. One area for attention: female students currently rank in the 60th percentile compared to males in the 76th, suggesting a potential focus for targeted support.
