Serving students from ninth through twelfth grade, the school has an enrollment of 105 students and a student-teacher ratio of 52.5:1, with two full-time equivalent teachers on staff. While Oxford Day Academy’s MySchoolScout rating is currently low at 1.1 out of 10 and its state ranking sits at #9564 out of 9566 schools in California, the school is focused on providing support to students as they navigate their academic journey.

In terms of proficiency rates, only 21% of students meet or exceed standards in English Language Arts/Reading, while just 3% are proficient or above in math. Despite these challenges, Oxford Day Academy sits in a large suburban area and offers a community setting where students can receive personalized attention despite the high student-to-teacher ratio.

With an enrollment of 105 students, Oxford Day Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

The student-teacher ratio at Oxford Day Academy is 52.5:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.

Oxford Day Academy is a charter school — a publicly funded school that operates with more autonomy than traditional district schools. Charter schools often have distinct educational models or specialties. Parents should understand the school's specific mission, enrollment process, and how its approach differs from nearby district options.
