OAK RIDGE SCHOOL

Oak Ridge School is a Title I public high school that is part of the CUSD 300 school district, located in Carpentersville, IL with about 35 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. 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 7 teachers, Oak Ridge School has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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 School, located at 300 Cleveland Ave in Carpentersville, Illinois, is a facility operating under the District 300 umbrella. Unlike a traditional K-12 campus, Oak Ridge serves as a specialized educational center, primarily focusing on alternative learning environments and early childhood programming. The school is designed to support students who may benefit from a more targeted instructional approach, emphasizing academic recovery, social-emotional development, and individualized growth in a structured setting.

The school plays a vital role within the community by providing resources that address the diverse needs of the student population in the Carpentersville area. By maintaining a smaller, more focused environment, Oak Ridge aims to foster a supportive atmosphere where students can bridge academic gaps or receive specialized early intervention. Through its commitment to personalized education, the school works to ensure that all enrolled students have the necessary tools to transition successfully into their next stage of schooling or adulthood.
