Summary

Oakwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving 407 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently outperforms the Oshkosh Area School District and the state of Wisconsin in academic proficiency, with 80.65% of its 5th-grade students achieving proficiency in English Language Arts and 75.81% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 45.27% and 42.07%, respectively.

Oakwood Elementary has maintained a strong statewide ranking, reaching as high as 71st out of 1,076 Wisconsin elementary schools in the 2014-2015 school year and currently ranking 164th out of 1,044 schools. The school's performance across different student subgroups, including male, female, White, and Special Education students, is also noteworthy, with several subgroups ranking in the top 25% of their respective statewide categories.

While Oakwood Elementary's overall performance is impressive, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which reached 19.5% in 2022-2023, is an area that could be addressed to further improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance for students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, while still strong compared to the district and state, could potentially be improved, as the school's ranking for this subgroup has fluctuated in recent years.
