Oakdale is steady making growth on the standardized test.  Data show a continuation of a three-year trend of improvements for our school.  We have made a 14 point gain over the past three years.  Reviewing the data and making the necessary adjustments in instruction strategies, groupings and interventions are keys to moving forward.  We involve the students and parents in the process. Students chart their growth by setting goals for growth. We also evaluate what worked and did not work the previous year in order for us to work smarter, not harder.
