Most rating sites would stop at “43% proficient” and call it done. Oakdale 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: 50.9% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
