Love Grove Elementary School faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 50.1%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, is also consistently lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 22% to 42% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the district's 49% to 59% and the state's 56% to 63%.

When comparing Love Grove Elementary School to nearby schools, such as River City Science Academy Southeast and River City Science Elementary Academy, both public charter schools within the same district, it becomes evident that Love Grove Elementary School is underperforming academically. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science, as well as higher overall school rankings. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population may be contributing factors to its academic struggles, and addressing these issues could be a key focus for the school's improvement efforts.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, January 30, 2024

I had to complete an anti-bullying form as a result of my child facing racism from other students, but unfortunately, they were not treated seriously, and no action was taken. This marks the fourth instance of bullying, and it feels like the school merely pretends to care. To my dismay, I received another call today regarding an incident involving my daughter. She has attended multiple schools without encountering such problems before. I've never witnessed a school downplaying racism the way this one has. I am no longer willing to provide them with chances to address this issue, and I feel compelled to publicly express my dissatisfaction. It's essential for parents to consider alternative options for their children. I am committed to pursuing this matter further with the board of education. Close Quote
