SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,740 California Middle Schools

Better than 21% of California middle schools

Summary

Oak Grove Middle serves 215 students in grades 6–8 in Jamul, a community in the Jamul-Dulzura Union Elementary district. Its latest test results were below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science: about 33%, 18% and 15% of students were proficient, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The clearest concern is science, where Oak Grove was 21 percentage points below the state.

ELA is Oak Grove’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, its district and the state, while science is weakest. Compared with results from nearby schools, Oak Grove was 9 points below the ELA average, 14 below in math and 16 below in science; it ranked around the middle of the group in ELA and math and third-lowest in science. It was also below the Jamul-Dulzura Union Elementary district by 1 point in ELA, 3 in math and 3 in science. Within the school, grade 8 is a particular concern: ELA proficiency was 26%, versus 38% in grade 7, and grade 8 science was 20 points below the state result. Nearby schools have different grade spans, so those peer comparisons are not exact matches.

Results have shifted unevenly since 2022–23: ELA fell 2 points and science fell 7, while math rose 4; the school’s gap with the state widened most in science, by 13 points. SchoolDigger ranked Oak Grove at the 21st statewide percentile in 2025–26 (1 star), down 9 percentile points from the prior year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 19.5, near the nearby-school average of 20.3. In 2024–25, 39% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 69% average among nearby schools with the same measure. Chronic absenteeism was low in 2025–26 at 4%, down from 30% in 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show a sharp contrast: Special Education Students ranked at the 1st percentile in 2025–26, while English Language Learner Students ranked at the 77th percentile in 2023–24, 47 points above the school’s overall ranking that year.
