Summary

Oak Grove Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is generally above the Whitley County and Kentucky averages, particularly in reading and science. Oak Grove Elementary excels in serving special education and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 5% and top 10% of Kentucky elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, ranging from 25% to 38.6% in recent years.

Oak Grove Elementary spends significantly more per student ($15,255 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.1, lower than the Whitley County and Kentucky averages, potentially allowing for more individualized attention. These factors, along with the school's consistent high performance and exceptional support for vulnerable student populations, make Oak Grove Elementary a standout school within the Whitley County School District.
