Oakley Park Elementary School

Oakley Park Elementary serves 370 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Commerce Township, Michigan. With a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — it ranks #71 out of 3,190 public schools in Michigan and stands first among all nine schools in Commerce Township.

Academic performance drives the rating.
