About Oakbrook Elementary Oakbrook Elementary continues to "Plant Seeds of Excellence." We are celebrating over 20 years of excellence. Our doors opened in 1987 to meet the burgeoning educational demands of the rapidly growing suburban area. Oakbrook Elementary continues to serve children in a high growth area in our district. Even with the new elementary school opening in the district, we serve almost 1,100 students throughout the year. Our 100 member faculty and staff work together to create a family friendly, positive atmosphere for our students.
Oakbrook Elementary has strong parent and community support. The PTA and School Improvement Council continue to support our educational initiatives. Input from these groups allow us to offer opportunities to make Oakbrook Elementary a special place for our students, parents and faculty. Highlights of our school years, based on support from these groups, include Fall Festival, Math and Science Night, and awards ceremonies. Teachers coordinate "Bears on the Run" and a "Run for Success" that promoted exercise for our students and families.
Academic achievement is a priority at Oakbrook Elementary. For three years, Oakbrook Elementary has been recognized by the SC Education Oversight Committee for "Closing the Achievement Gap" of historically underachieving students. Our staff continues to provide challenging and enriching instruction for every student. With a focus on differentiation, five computer labs serve our 1st - 5th grades with a computer program for students to work on standards at their levels.
The challenge at Oakbrook Elementary is to continue to keep moving forward with students achievement. We strive to continue to raise the performance of each student by increasing the percentage of students scoring exemplary on the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS). Analyzing data collected throughout the year on MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) and DRA (Diagnostic Reading Assessment) helps teachers plan instructional lessons to meet the needs of our students. With our staff, parents and community working together we will continue to "Plant Seeds of Excellence."
