Summary:
In the 91935 zip code of Jamul, CA, there is one public middle school, Oak Grove Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 for the local Jamul-Dulzura Union Elementary district, offering a small-school environment with about 215 students.
Oak Grove Middle shows a clear strength in developing English skills, with student proficiency rates improving notably from 6th to 8th grade. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, performing below both district and state averages in all core subjects, with mathematics and science proficiency being particularly low and showing little improvement as students advance. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while higher than the district average, is notably better than the state's, suggesting a relatively strong attendance culture.
With spending above the national average, the school's resources are not yet translating to high academic achievement, placing it consistently in the lower performance tiers statewide. For parents, this indicates a school with a supportive scale and some effective programs in English, but one that is grappling with systemic instructional challenges in key subjects within a district that also faces overall performance hurdles.
