Summary

Oakview Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic achievement. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 68th out of 1,490 North Carolina elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Oakview's proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science were significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 14.7 students per teacher.

While Oakview Elementary generally performs well across different student subgroups, the school's rankings for African American students and low socioeconomic status students are relatively lower compared to other subgroups. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs and supporting the academic achievement of these subgroups. Additionally, the school's performance in the gifted and talented student subgroup is relatively lower, indicating a potential need to review the school's identification and programming for these students.
