Summary

Oak Grove School is an elementary school located in Bartonville, Illinois that serves grades PK-8 with 280 students. It is part of the Oak Grove School District 68 Bartonville, which is ranked 441 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Grove School faces several challenges, including below-average student performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, with only 50.6% of students proficient or better in ELA and 40% in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. The school's performance has been inconsistent, ranking as high as 849 (top 43%) among Illinois elementary schools in 2020-2021 but as low as 1242 (bottom 40%) in 2021-2022. Additionally, Oak Grove School has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.4% to 26.3% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average.

Interestingly, certain student subgroups at Oak Grove School, such as White students and Special Education students, perform significantly better than the overall student population. This suggests the school may be able to learn from the strategies and practices that are working for these subgroups and apply them more broadly. However, the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,984 to $14,663 in recent years, has not translated to improved academic outcomes, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. Nearby schools, such as Monroe Elementary School and Hollis Consolidated Grade School, have higher student proficiency rates and better overall rankings, suggesting Oak Grove School could benefit from examining their practices and strategies.
