Summary

Oak Grove Elementary School is a public school in Tampa, FL, serving 832 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hillsborough district, and it has historically ranked in the bottom 20-30% of Florida elementary schools, currently earning a 1-star rating.

The most significant challenge at Oak Grove is its critically high chronic absenteeism rate, which was 37% in the 2023-2024 school year—the highest among nearby schools with available data. This rate far exceeds that of Alexander Elementary (22.9%) and Seminole Heights Elementary (23.5%), and it is strongly linked to the school's low academic performance. On a positive note, Oak Grove shows a relative strength in Mathematics compared to English Language Arts (ELA). For example, in the most recent testing year, 4th-grade Math proficiency (61%) was on par with the district average, while 4th-grade ELA proficiency (48%) lagged 9 points behind. The school also outperforms nearby Twin Lakes Elementary and Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary, which rank in the 1st and 2nd percentiles, respectively.

An interesting contrast exists between Oak Grove and Trinity School For Children, a charter school just over a mile away. Trinity has a 1.65% free/reduced lunch rate and a 13.6% chronic absenteeism rate, ranking in the 74th percentile, while Oak Grove has a 71.15% free/reduced lunch rate and a 37% absenteeism rate, ranking in the 19th percentile. This highlights the profound impact of socioeconomic factors and student engagement on school performance. Additionally, Oak Grove’s academic performance varies significantly by grade level, with 4th graders outperforming 3rd and 5th graders in both Math and ELA, suggesting that instructional quality or student cohorts can change dramatically from year to year.
