Summary:
The Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District consists of 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district's schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Carollton Elementary and Deerfield Elementary consistently ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools, while others like Forest Ridge Elementary and Cedar Hills Elementary struggle, ranking in the bottom 50%.
The district's high-performing schools, such as Carollton Elementary and Deerfield Elementary, boast impressive test scores, with over 85% of students proficient or better in core subjects. Meanwhile, Meadowview Elementary stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts, with 73.58% of 5th graders proficient or better. At the middle school level, Oak Creek East Middle ranks in the top 30% of Wisconsin middle schools, with 71.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in Mathematics.
Across the district, there are concerns about high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.9%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending, from $6,387 at the Early Learning Academy to $12,845 at Edgewood Elementary, raises questions about equity in resource allocation and whether all students are receiving the same level of educational opportunities within the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District.
