Summary

Oakwood Elementary is a K–5 school at 1225 N Oakwood Rd in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving 382 students as part of the Oshkosh Area School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 94th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 91st percentile, with a 5-star rating — even though its district ranks 335th of 432 districts statewide (22nd percentile, 1 star). Oakwood climbed from the 69th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 91st in 2025–2026, so this is a school on a clear upward trajectory.

Proficiency is the clearest evidence. Oakwood's ELA proficiency averaged about 76.9% in 2025–2026, versus roughly 43.2% districtwide and 53.2% statewide, while math averaged about 78.1% against roughly 44.3% and 53.1%. Social studies (82.61%) and science (65.22%) also beat state averages. Most nearby Oshkosh elementaries were 1-star, bottom-quartile schools that year: Menominee Elementary School (18th percentile), E Cook Elementary (20th), Shapiro STEM Academy (26th), Oaklawn Elementary (19th), Jefferson Elementary (23rd), Roosevelt Elementary (15th), Franklin Elementary (24th) and Read Elementary (13th). Traeger Elementary, the closest academic peer at the 77th percentile, was still outperformed by Oakwood in most ELA and math grades. Chronic absenteeism was just 2.9%, versus 16.9% in the district and 17.3% statewide, and lower than every nearby comparison school (Traeger Elementary was next lowest at 4.5%).

Oakwood also serves low-income students well: that subgroup ranked in the 95th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 42nd percentile in 2023–2024 — though because the school's low-income population is relatively small, those results can swing year to year. Spending is $13,245 per student, below every compared same-district school (roughly $15,310 to $18,935) and below Patch Elementary at $14,500, with a higher student-teacher ratio (16.6) than nearby peers. Oakwood also has less economic disadvantage than most local schools — 14.66% free/reduced lunch, versus 44.61% to 69.45% at most Oshkosh peers — so its overall results partly reflect that, even as its low-income subgroup results suggest it is serving those students effectively too.
