Summary

Oakland Elementary School is a small K–4 school serving 252 students in Oakland, Oregon, a rural Douglas County town, and it is the only elementary school in Oakland School District 1. It ranks 346th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (51st percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26 — mid-pack — even though its district ranks 37th of 141 districts (74th percentile, 4 stars). Because the school serves only grades K–4 and is the district's sole grades 3–4 provider, the district's strong reading results come from upper grades while this school carries its comparatively weak math.

Oakland's subject profile is unusual locally: 40.4% of students were proficient in reading and math in 2025–26, and the math figure is 7.5 points above the state (32.9%) and 12.8 points above its own district, while reading falls below both. Third graders hit 50% proficient in math, second among nearby schools to Melrose Elementary School; fourth graders scored 30%, below the state. Chronic absenteeism of 20.5% is the lowest in the comparison group — below Melrose (22.5%), Hucrest Elementary School (27.8%), and Yoncalla Elementary School (38.8%) — and well under the state's 33.5%. The school has improved three years running, from the 31st percentile in 2023–24 to 51st.

Against its nearest neighbors, Oakland looks strong: those are Sutherlin School District 130 schools 2.5–3 miles away, and that district ranks 127th of 141. Against the best Roseburg-area schools 14–15 miles away, it looks average — Melrose Elementary School (92nd percentile) and Hucrest Elementary School (81st) serve similarly high-poverty populations with lower student–teacher ratios. Oakland's own ratio of 16.8 is the highest among these peers, even though per-student spending reached $19,253, up 27% in two years, and low-income enrollment jumped from 64.7% to 78.2% in a single year. Encouragingly, the low-income student group climbed from the 7th to the 55th percentile. Bottom line: a small, steadily improving K–4 school with genuine math and attendance strengths and results that are still average overall.

Open Quote The reading program that this school utilizes is amazing. My son transferred in during the middle of his 1st grade year, he was barely reading at an entry level kindergarten level. Now he is in 3rd grade and reading at an advanced 5th grade level. The extra attention and care he received has allowed him to blossom into a great student. Close Quote
