Summary:
The city of Oakdale, Minnesota is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school), and no alternative schools. The schools in the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district demonstrate a mix of performance, with Eagle Point Elementary standing out as a high-performing school, while the secondary schools, such as Skyview Community Middle and Tartan Senior High, tend to underperform compared to state averages.
The data suggests a significant performance gap between the elementary and secondary schools in the district. Eagle Point Elementary outperforms the district and state in MCA-III test scores, while the middle and high schools struggle to meet state standards. This disparity may be linked to the socioeconomic status of the student population, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Castle Elementary and Skyview Community Middle, tend to have lower academic performance.
The North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district serves a diverse student population, with a mix of racial backgrounds represented across the schools. Tartan Senior High stands out for its more balanced racial composition, while the elementary schools have a higher percentage of White and Asian students. Addressing the unique needs and experiences of students from different backgrounds may be crucial in improving overall academic outcomes in the district.
