A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, OAK RIDGE ELEM. has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Oak Ridge Elementary School, located in Oak Ridge, Missouri, serves as a central hub for the small, close-knit community of the Oak Ridge R-VI School District. As a rural public elementary school, it focuses on providing a foundational education in a supportive environment where staff members are typically able to offer more personalized attention to students due to the district's smaller enrollment size. The school emphasizes core academic achievement while fostering a sense of community pride, often acting as a focal point for local families and town events.

The school operates under the mission of the Oak Ridge R-VI District, which prioritizes academic rigor, character development, and student engagement. By maintaining a traditional educational atmosphere, Oak Ridge Elementary seeks to prepare its students for the transition to middle and high school within the same district system.
