About Oakview EL Sch

Oakview Elementary School serves 374 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Stoneboro, Pennsylvania. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with academic performance at 9.3 and growth at 9.1. Both scores reflect consistent, system-wide strength rather than a single bright spot in an otherwise uneven profile.

The numbers put Oakview in rare company statewide. It ranks 36th out of 2,842 public schools in Pennsylvania, outperforming 99% of schools across the state. Among Pennsylvania's 1,625 elementary schools specifically, it places 30th — a position that holds up against programs in far larger districts with significantly more resources.

The school's 10.7:1 student-teacher ratio means each child gets more direct instructional time than the state average, and that individual attention appears to compound across both achievement and growth measures. For families comparing options in the Stoneboro area, Oakview is the top-rated elementary school in town. Its standing isn't driven by achievement scores alone — the growth rating of 9.1 signals that students are making above-average progress year over year, which is the harder metric to sustain.

A regular public school earning an Exceptional label at this level of state competition is a meaningful signal for parents doing serious school comparisons.

What Parents Should Know

Located in a rural area, Oakview EL Sch may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
