This small school has a student population of just 74 and maintains strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math exceeding state averages.

While Oakesdale Elementary School is the sole elementary institution in the area, its small size and unique student population present both opportunities and obstacles. The school's strong performance in ELA and Math suggests a dedicated faculty and supportive community, but the lower 5th-grade proficiency rates in certain subjects indicate a need for targeted interventions. As parents and community members consider educational options for their children, Oakesdale Elementary School's combination of academic success and socioeconomic factors provides a nuanced perspective on the educational landscape in this small Washington town.
