Summary

Oak Grove Elementary School in Acworth, GA, serves approximately 523 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly regarded Cherokee County School District, which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. The school has seen a notable decline in its state ranking over the past two years, dropping from the 57th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it well below the district's overall performance level.

In the most recent mathematics assessments, Oak Grove's proficiency rates ranged from 27.5% (3rd grade) to 41.1% (5th grade), compared to district averages of 58-62%—a gap of roughly 20-30 percentage points. The contrast with nearby Bascomb Elementary, just 3 miles away, is particularly stark: Bascomb posted math proficiency rates of 74-79% across grades 3-5. Oak Grove's 5th grade science proficiency (35.6%) also trails the district average (53.3%) by nearly 18 points. The school serves a student population with significant economic need, with 66.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—notably higher than nearby Boston Elementary (39.48%) and Bascomb (19.32%).

Despite these academic challenges, Oak Grove has achieved a remarkable improvement in chronic absenteeism, reducing its rate from 19.7% in 2021-2022 to just 7.9% in 2025-2026—now well below both the district average (10.2%) and the state average (17.7%). The school also spends more per student ($18,015) than most nearby schools, including Bascomb ($13,714) and Clark Creek Elementary ($15,397), and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1. This combination of high spending, improving attendance, and declining test scores suggests the school may need to reassess its instructional approaches. With English Language Arts scores not yet released for the current year, the full picture remains incomplete, but Oak Grove's history of solid performance indicates that better outcomes are achievable.
