Oak View Elementary, Acampo CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Oak View Elementary

Oak View Elementary serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Acampo, a small, predominantly agricultural community in the Lodi wine region of San Joaquin County. The school enrolls a relatively small student body drawn from a rural area characterized by vineyards, wineries, and farm land, where most residents rent their homes and the setting is distinctly country rather than urban or suburban.

The student body is roughly split between Hispanic and white students, with smaller numbers of Asian, multiracial, and other students. A meaningful share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic profile of the rural area the school serves.

In mathematics, Oak View's proficiency varies markedly by grade. Third and fourth graders perform at stronger levels, but performance declines noticeably from fifth grade onward, with eighth graders showing notably lower outcomes. In English language arts, the school's results show a similar pattern of variation, with solid performance in fourth and fifth grades and more modest results in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. In science, where testing occurs in fifth and eighth grades, fifth-grade students perform at a moderate level while eighth graders show substantially lower proficiency. These patterns suggest that students at the upper middle school grades are facing headwinds in academic attainment. A parent may want to look into further detail with the school about what support and instructional approaches are in place for grades six through eight, and what transitions or shifts happen as students move from elementary to middle school within the building.

Across all tested subjects and grades, Oak View's overall proficiency sits in the top quartile relative to districts throughout San Joaquin County. This strength at the school level reflects solid early-elementary and intermediate performance that elevates the aggregate, even as upper grades show softer results.

The school operates within Oak View Union Elementary School District, a single-school district with no major recent changes in governance, curriculum, or policy that were documented. The area itself is not experiencing rapid growth; it is a stable, long-established rural settlement with a flat to slightly declining population trajectory and a real-estate market centered on acreage, vineyard parcels, and country estates rather than new housing subdivisions. Housing values in the area are moderate by state standards, though they reflect the rural character and distance from urban job centers.

For families in or considering this area, Oak View offers a K-8 pathway in a small, rural school setting with stable, accessible academics in the lower grades. The declining performance in upper grades is a characteristic worth understanding directly with the school before enrolling or as students progress.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
