Summary:
In zip code 75855, there is a single elementary school, Oakwood Elementary, serving grades PK through 6 in the rural community of Oakwood, Texas, with a total enrollment of just 120 students.
Oakwood Elementary is a very small school with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1, which often allows for more individualized attention. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 88.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. It shows notable strengths in reading, with 5th-grade reading proficiency (66.67%) exceeding the state average (58.47%) in the 2025-2026 school year. Mathematics is a major area of concern, particularly in the lower grades, where 3rd-grade math proficiency was 0% and 4th-grade math dropped from 69.23% to 18.52% between school years. However, 6th-grade math (58.33%) significantly outperformed the state average (38.57%), suggesting a potential bright spot or effective intervention at the upper elementary level.
Despite these challenges, the school is on a positive trajectory, improving its state ranking from the 17th percentile (1-star) in 2023-2024 to the 35th percentile (2-star) in 2025-2026. The dramatic year-over-year swings in test scores, especially in 4th grade, are likely due to the "cohort effect" common in small schools, where a single class of 15-20 students can have a vastly different academic profile. For parents, this means that while the school is making progress and has clear strengths in reading and upper-grade math, the lower-grade math performance is a critical area to monitor and support. The school is part of the Oakwood Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 19th percentile statewide.
