Summary

Oak Grove Elementary is a well-regarded K-5 public school serving 569 students in Aliso Viejo, part of the high-performing Capistrano Unified School District.

Academically, Oak Grove stands out for its excellent math scores and its exceptional support for all students. Its math proficiency significantly outpaces both the state average and nearby schools like Wood Canyon Elementary and those in the Saddleback Valley Unified district, such as Lomarena Elementary. The school is particularly effective in helping English learners, students with special needs, and those from lower-income families achieve high academic rankings. Furthermore, it maintains a lower chronic absenteeism rate than many peers, indicating a strong, engaged school community.

While Oak Grove is a strong 4-star school, its recent statewide ranking has dipped slightly compared to elite local schools like Canyon Vista Elementary and Top of the World Elementary. It achieves its solid results with efficient spending per student. Areas for potential growth include science proficiency and addressing a performance gap between female and male students. Overall, Oak Grove delivers consistent, high-quality education and is a standout for its commitment to supporting every child's success.
