Oak Hill Elementary

Summary:

Oak Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 238 students. The school is part of the St. Louis City School District, which is ranked 353 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Hill Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Missouri elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 770 and 1,048 out of over 900 schools in recent years. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a brief 1-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. Key factors that differentiate Oak Hill Elementary include extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly below-average academic performance in Math and English Language Arts, and an extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's spending per student has increased, the outcomes do not reflect the investment.

Nearby schools, such as Froebel Elementary, Buder Elementary, and Mann Elementary, also perform poorly compared to state averages, but generally outperform Oak Hill Elementary. The nearby Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Ac, a magnet school, stands out with exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates well above state and district averages. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes in Math and English Language Arts could be crucial steps in improving the quality of education at Oak Hill Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
