Summary

Oaks Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school serving 592 students in grades K-4 in the Spring-Ford Area School District in Pennsylvania. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 106 and 182 over the past several years and a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oaks Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with students consistently outperforming the state and district averages in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores for Math, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 81% of Oaks students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 65.1% for the Spring-Ford Area School District and 41.7% for the state of Pennsylvania. The school also performs exceptionally well across various student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for Asian students and in the top 20% for disabled students in recent years.

Oaks Elementary School's strong performance is likely due to a combination of factors, including higher spending per student ($16,363 in the 2022-2023 school year) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio (ranging from 14.7 to 15.7 students per teacher over the past few years). Compared to nearby schools like Royersford Elementary School and Upper Providence Elementary School, Oaks Elementary School outperforms in academic achievement and statewide rankings. While the school serves a more affluent student population, it has maintained a high level of academic excellence over the years, making it a model for other elementary schools in the region.

This school has a teacher on staff who believes that if a child is left handed that child is EVIL! I cannot believe that this school would have an idiot such as this in a position which influences the the lives of children. This person should be FIRED! Close Quote
