In contrast, Oak Grove Middle faces significant challenges, with the lowest overall ranking and test scores well below district and state averages. The other elementary schools, El Monte Elementary and Ygnacio Valley Elementary, show mixed results, with El Monte performing relatively well in math.
Ygnacio Valley High presents a complex picture; it has a very high graduation rate but also the highest chronic absenteeism and low test proficiency.
