🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.
Most rating sites would stop at “25% proficient” and call it done. Oakdale Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oakdale, where one in three students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 15.1% chronic absenteeism — versus 30.2% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Oakdale Charter enrolls by application rather than address. That changes how you get in, but it doesn't change the score.

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 25% meet the standard today, versus 44% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

The story this school is actually telling
Of 100 students here: 25 are proficient by 11th grade → 100 graduate → 0 pass an AP exam. The gaps between those bars are the questions to ask.
The 6 things our score weighs
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

What gets spent here
These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.
The district's current expense of education per student, from CDE's annual SACS filing — the freshest district spending figure the state publishes.
District-level, from the district's own SACS general-ledger filing — school-by-school breakdowns aren't published by the state.
