Oakfield-alabama Elementary School, Oakfield NY

Original Research by School Decision on Oakfield-alabama Elementary School

Oakfield-Alabama Elementary School serves a small, tightly knit rural community in Genesee County, sitting on a shared campus between the elementary and middle/high schools just outside the village proper. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly white and includes a substantial share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting modest economic diversity across the service area. Early childhood through fifth grade are housed here.

The state testing results from 2024-25 show mixed proficiency across the grades. In English language arts, fourth and fifth graders perform better than third graders: roughly half of fourth graders meet proficiency, while fifth graders perform similarly. Third-grade ELA proficiency lags, at around a smaller proportion. In math, the pattern is less consistent. Third graders perform at about the same level as higher grades, while fourth graders show notably lower proficiency. Fifth-grade math sits between the two. Fifth-grade science proficiency holds around half. The school's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among school districts across Genesee County, though the performance variation by grade and subject suggests uneven achievement across the elementary span.

With roughly half the enrollment qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves families with moderate economic strain. Special education enrollment and English learner enrollment data were not available, so parents may want to ask the school directly about the range of support services and how the school identifies and serves students with different learning needs.

The community itself is quiet and rural, with a compact village center several miles from the school campus. Civic anchors like the library and Triangle Park cluster in the village, while the school sits at an outlying consolidated site. The surrounding economic story is dominated by regional development: the STAMP industrial park in the neighboring Town of Alabama, which shares tax base with the district, has been slow to fill but now faces a proposed data center campus that would substantially alter both the regional tax picture and the character of the area. The school's future enrollment and resources may shift with that development.

The school offers band and theater at the elementary level, with clubs and activities including drama club, National Honor Society, and a yearbook. The website and direct contact with the school will clarify the full range of enrichment and support available within the elementary grades and any before or after-school programming.

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.
