Summary
Oro Grande Elementary serves 91 students in grades K–6 in Oro Grande, California. A standout improvement is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–2026, down from 45% in 2022–2023 and below the Oro Grande district’s 9% and the state’s 18%; among nearby schools, only Sixth Street Prep was lower, at 2%. Test results have also improved, but remain below state rates in all three subjects. The clearest academic concern is math: 19% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 20-point gap.
Compared with nearby schools, Oro Grande is stronger in ELA and science than in math. Its 2025–2026 results were 36% in ELA and 25% in science, above nearby-school averages of 31% and 21%; math was 19%, below the nearby average of 22%. Among 10 nearby schools with results, Oro Grande ranked fourth in ELA, fifth in math and third in science. Its proficiency figures match the district’s in all three subjects, while state rates were 49% in ELA, 38% in math and 36% in science. So, local comparisons are relatively favorable in ELA and science, but math trails both nearby schools and the state.
Scores have climbed since 2022–2023: ELA increased by 18 percentage points and math by 13, narrowing both gaps with the state. SchoolDigger ranks Oro Grande at the 28th percentile statewide, with 1 star, up from the 6th percentile in 2024–2025. Its ranking for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students also rose notably, from the 3rd percentile in 2022–2023 (5,214 of 5,363) to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026 (3,379 of 5,412). The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 21.4, lower than at other nearby in-person schools, and 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. With 91 students, results can be sensitive to small numbers; sixth-grade ELA was suppressed and cannot be assessed.
