Summary

Oak Grove Elementary School in Oak Grove, LA, serves 523 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the West Carroll Parish school district, which ranks in the 46th percentile statewide. The school has a history of solid, mid-tier performance, consistently earning 3-star ratings from the state over the past decade, with a brief peak of 4-star ratings in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. The student body is economically diverse, with 71.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

Compared to the nearby Southside Elementary School in Lake Providence, LA (part of the East Carroll Parish district), Oak Grove is a significantly higher-performing school. Oak Grove currently ranks in the 51st percentile with a 3-star rating, while Southside ranks in the 0th percentile with a 0-star rating. In the 2025-2026 school year, Oak Grove achieved 70% proficiency in both Math and ELA, compared to Southside's 21% and 32%, respectively. Oak Grove also has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1%, well below the state average of 22.5%, while Southside's rate is 25.0%. However, Oak Grove is on a downward trend after a period of strong performance, with its state ranking falling for five consecutive years from a peak of the 73rd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026.

Despite the academic decline, Oak Grove has made significant progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 21.8% in 2023-2024 to 14.1% in 2024-2025, which is now better than both the district (21.9%) and state (22.5%) averages. Grade-level performance varies, with 4th graders showing strength (76% proficiency in ELA and 71% in Math, both beating state averages), while 5th graders struggle, particularly in Social Studies (43% proficiency, 12 points below the state average). The school's biggest challenge is addressing growing equity gaps, as performance for some student subgroups has declined sharply. The success in reducing chronic absenteeism suggests the school can implement effective strategies, but this has not yet translated into reversing the academic decline.
