Oak Grove Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.9% to 31.4% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Miami-Dade district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 37-44% of students proficient or better, compared to 56-69% for the district and 55-63% for the state. Additionally, Oak Grove has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.67% to 89.66%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, several interesting findings emerge. Natural Bridge Elementary School and Mater Academy Bay Biscayne North Miami Elementary School have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Oak Grove Elementary. Other nearby schools, such as Thomas Jefferson Biscayne Gardens K-8 Academy and Linda Lentin K-8 Center, have higher test scores in middle school subjects but lower scores in elementary school subjects. To improve the school's performance, the district and school administration may need to focus on addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rates and implementing targeted interventions to improve student learning.
