Summary:
The Oakwood Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Oakwood Elementary and Oakwood High School. Both schools serve a relatively small student population, with Oakwood Elementary enrolling 132 students and Oakwood High School enrolling 89 students.
Despite the small school sizes, the Oakwood ISD as a whole is struggling, with both its elementary and high school performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores and district rankings. Oakwood Elementary is ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, while Oakwood High School is ranked in the bottom third of Texas high schools. The test scores for both schools are generally well below the state averages, particularly in reading and math proficiency.
Additionally, both schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Oakwood Elementary at 91.67% and Oakwood High School at 77.53%. Despite the low performance, the district is spending relatively high amounts per student, with Oakwood High School spending over $17,000 per student. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and whether the spending is translating into improved outcomes.
