Summary

Oak Grove Elementary is a public elementary school located in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 285 students in grades K-5. Despite being part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 districts in the state, Oak Grove Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.8% of 3rd graders at Oak Grove were proficient in ELA, compared to 42.9% in the district and 40.3% statewide. Additionally, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 38.1% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average. Oak Grove Elementary also faces challenges in supporting its Hispanic and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 20% of Oregon schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby Sojourner School, also in the North Clackamas district, consistently outperforms Oak Grove Elementary across academic metrics, ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools. In contrast, Linwood Elementary and Milwaukie El Puente Elementary, which are also in the same district, have similar low academic performance to Oak Grove. The high-performing Lake Oswego and Riverdale school districts, which are just outside the North Clackamas district, have elementary schools that significantly outperform Oak Grove on all academic measures.
