Summary

Oaklawn Elementary is a public elementary school in Menomonie, Wisconsin, serving 396 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Menomonie Area School District, which is ranked 218 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oaklawn Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance, with its 4th-grade students scoring 67.19% proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the district's 50.42% and 58.05%, respectively, and the state's 52.21% and 53.96%. The school's students also excel in Social Studies and Science, with 75% and 68.75% proficiency, respectively. Oaklawn's performance is particularly strong among specific student groups, such as female and male students, as well as white students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, Oaklawn Elementary faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.9% in 2023-2024 to 21.2% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's performance among its special education students is an area of concern, ranking 498th out of 802 Wisconsin elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. While Oaklawn generally outperforms other Menomonie Area School District elementary schools, it does not match the academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates of some nearby schools, such as Tiffany Creek Elementary and Mound View Elementary.
