Summary

Oak Elementary School is a K–5 school at 3610 Oak St SE in Albany, Oregon, serving 273 students as one of eleven elementary campuses in Greater Albany Public School District 8J. It ranks 268th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026 (62nd percentile, 3 stars) — its best showing in seven years, after a low point in 2022–2023 (44th percentile, 2 stars). About 77% of its students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, similar to nearly every nearby Albany elementary.

Reading is this school's strength: 55% of students met ELA standards, above the district (47.8%) and the state (43.8%), and third among comparable Albany elementaries behind North Albany Elementary School (67.9%) and Oak Grove Elementary School (63.5%). Math proficiency (37.5%) also beats district and state averages, though grade by grade it looks closer to expectations than standout. Science is the clear weak spot — 25% proficient in 5th grade versus about 31% for both the district and state. Attendance is the paired improvement story: chronic absenteeism fell from 46.9% in 2022–2023 to 31.3% in 2024–2025, now better than district and state rates and better than nearby Sunrise Elementary School, Waverly Elementary School, Takena Elementary School and Lafayette Elementary School.

Two results stand out. With roughly 77% low-income students, Oak ranks in the top 10% of Oregon schools for how well it serves that group (91st percentile, 5 stars) — 29 percentile points above its overall rank, and a three-year climb from 63rd to 79th to 91st. By contrast, special education students rank at the 5th percentile statewide, the weakest metric in the school's profile, and female students fell to the 37th percentile in 2025–2026 while male students rose to 79th. Geographically, Oak is the strongest performer in its immediate south-Albany neighborhood, where its closest neighbors range from the 9th to the 24th percentile, while the district's higher-performing schools sit three to four miles away.
