Summary:
The schools in zip code 75855, serving the Oakwood, Texas area, consist of just two schools—Oakwood Elementary (PK-6) and Oakwood High School (7-12)—within the Oakwood Independent School District (Isd), which serves a total of 203 students and is ranked in the 19th percentile statewide.
Oakwood High School stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, achieving a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, despite a high level of economic disadvantage (80.72% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch). However, its academic performance remains below state averages, with only 44.44% proficient in English I Reading and 37.5% in English II Reading, creating a gap between graduation success and college readiness. In contrast, Oakwood Elementary shows dramatic year-over-year swings in performance, such as 4th-grade math proficiency jumping from 18.52% to 69.23% between school years, likely due to very small class sizes where a few students can drastically alter percentages. A notable bright spot is 6th-grade math, where 58.33% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming the state average of 38.57%.
The district spends significantly more per student than the state average—$17,200 per student at the high school and $12,642 at the elementary level—yet academic performance remains low, suggesting challenges tied to deep-seated socioeconomic factors rather than funding or class size. With 88.33% of elementary students and 80.72% of high school students economically disadvantaged, the district's high spending and low student-teacher ratios (10.8:1 at elementary, 7.2:1 at high school) have not translated into strong test scores. Parents should be aware that while Oakwood High School excels at keeping students on track to graduate, the extreme volatility in elementary data means single-year scores may not reflect long-term trends, and multi-year patterns are more reliable for assessing school performance.
