Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.

Stage 1 of 3

The elementary years

The elementary schools average 69.4/100 — 30.6 points above the state average, with 3 of 3 in the Strong band.

0100
Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

3 elementary schools span 14 points around an average of 69.4.

The strength

Brookside Elementary (75/100) holds the Strong band — 47.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 46.6%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.

The catch

Only 3 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.

Stage 2 of 3

The middle years

One middle school: Medea Creek Middle at 70/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.

0100

One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.

The strength

Medea Creek Middle (70/100) holds the Strong band — 45.0% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 45.0%.

The catch

One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.

Stage 3 of 3

The high school years

One school defines the top: Oak Park High sits 32 points clear of the field — the other 1 high schools are a different conversation.

0100

32 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 2 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.

The strength

Oak Park High (91/100) holds the Strong band — 58.2% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 39.1%.

The catch

32 points separate the top and bottom high schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Brookside Elementary at 75/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.

If you already live here

No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — 1 campus here ranks as Growth Engine, its returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

The strongest-scoring run through the district:

Brookside Elementary 97th percentile · StrongScope Score 75/100Medea Creek Middle 94th percentile · StrongScope Score 70/100Oak Park High 99th percentile · StrongScope Score 91/100

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.

Frequently asked questions

How many schools are listed in Oak Park Unified?
This SchoolScope directory lists 6 public schools in Oak Park Unified with 2024–25 reporting records. This is directory coverage, not a complete campus inventory. Each school appears under its primary reporting level; a K–8 or K–12 campus may serve additional grades.

High: Oak Park High (91/100). These are separate level rankings, not a single cross-level league table. A score does not establish fit or enrollment eligibility. See the methodology.
Can I compare elementary, middle, and high schools directly?
Compare schools at the same level and within the same enrollment group. Scope Score formulas and available measures differ by level. The plots show comprehensive public schools separately for each level; individual profiles explain their comparison group.
Does living in Oak Park Unified guarantee a particular school?
A district outline does not establish assignment to an individual school. Attendance boundaries, programs, permits, and available space can affect enrollment. Confirm the requirements directly with the district.
What does a SchoolScope pattern mean?
Archetypes summarize patterns in publicly reported academic and school-climate measures. They describe reported results, not a school’s quality or a child’s fit. Open the school profile for reporting years, missing measures, and questions to ask. Read how the patterns are defined.
Where do these results come from?
The underlying public data comes from the California Department of Education, including CAASPP reporting for 2024–25. Scope Scores and archetypes are SchoolScope calculations, not official CDE ratings. View CDE data and SchoolScope’s methodology and limitations.
