Summary

Oak Grove Elementary School in North Little Rock, AR, is a small, rural-feeling school serving 193 students in grades PK through 5, and it is part of the Pulaski County Special School District.

Oak Grove stands out for its significant investment in students, spending $18,904 per pupil—the highest among nearby schools like Pine Forest Elementary School ($15,083) and Crystal Hill Elementary ($15,178). This investment supports a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1, offering the potential for more individualized attention than at larger schools like Maumelle Charter Elementary (19.5:1). However, academic performance remains a challenge, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29%) and Math (21.7%) trailing district averages and schools like Jefferson Elementary School (73.5% ELA). The school serves a community with a high poverty rate (74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), which is notably higher than at Jefferson (35.6%) and Maumelle Charter (31.9%).

Despite these hurdles, there are signs of progress. Oak Grove’s state ranking improved from the 9th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026, with math proficiency jumping from 9.3% to 21.7%. This upward trend suggests recent efforts may be starting to pay off. For parents, Oak Grove offers a close-knit, supportive environment with small class sizes, but it’s important to know that academic scores are currently low compared to peers. The school’s high per-student spending and small classes are clear strengths, yet the deep impact of socioeconomic challenges means that outcomes may take time to improve.
