Its recent history shows a downward trend: the school was in the 48th percentile in 2016–2017 and the 40th percentile in 2020–2021, then fell to 29th, 29th, 25th, 24th, and 17th in the last five reported years. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 30.6% in math, 31.3% in reading, and 13.6% in science.

I have 3 children attending Oak Hill and I couldn't be happier with their academic and social development. The staff and teachers are very patient with the children and manage large classes with positive reinforcement. I would recommend this school to my family and friends. Close Quote
