Oakdale Public School

Summary:

Oakdale Public School is an exemplary elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Edmond, Oklahoma, with a consistent enrollment of around 720 students. This top-performing school has consistently ranked among the best in the state, outshining many of its nearby counterparts.

Oakdale Public School's academic excellence is undeniable, with students scoring 35-50 percentage points higher than the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's diverse student population, with 77.36% White, 4.17% African American, 7.5% Hispanic, and 3.61% Asian students, stands in contrast to some nearby schools like M.L. King Junior Elementary and Spencer Elementary, which have much higher percentages of minority students. Additionally, Oakdale's low poverty rates, with only 3.58% to 9.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest a relatively affluent student population compared to some neighboring schools.

When comparing Oakdale Public School to other schools in the area, such as Sunset Elementary and Will Rogers Elementary, both in the Edmond district, it is clear that Oakdale is outperforming them academically. However, these stark differences in performance, diversity, and socioeconomic status between Oakdale and some nearby schools, like M.L. King Junior Elementary and Spencer Elementary, raise important questions about educational equity and access to high-quality education in the region.

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.

Open Quote Great teachers and a wonderful overall experience for my two children. Because of the location of the school, most children are from affluent families which makes it very much like a private school. Close Quote

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.
