Summary

Oak Grove Elementary is a PK–5 school in Bloomington, MN, serving 435 students in Bloomington Public Schools.

In 2025–26, Oak Grove ranked 361st of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (58th percentile, 3 stars), above its district's 46th percentile (2 stars). Math proficiency was 49.2%, above the district's 39% and the state's 44.9%. Reading was 48.8%, above the district's 42.3% and essentially at the state's 48.6%. Science was 42.4%, more than double the district's 19.9% and well above the state's 25.5%, making it the school's clearest strength. Among nearby schools, Hillcrest Elementary is the top peer, with higher math (56.7%) and reading (59.0%) and similar science (43.8%), but Hillcrest serves much lower poverty (20.91% free/reduced lunch vs. Oak Grove's 45.06%). Oak Grove outperforms most other nearby schools, often by wide margins, especially in science. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.8, mid-range among peers.

Grade-level data show 3rd grade math is strong (61.3%), and 5th grade is strong across subjects (math 44.7%, reading 58.1%, science 42.4%). However, 4th grade trails the district and state in both math and reading, making it the main academic weak spot. The school's effectiveness varies by student group: some groups, such as Hispanic students, have improved, while others, including English Language Learners and African American students, have seen declines. Reading and science remain above district and state averages but have not fully returned to their 2023–24 peaks. Overall, Oak Grove is a solid, improving school with above-district and above-state performance in math and science, near-state reading, and a standout science profile. Key opportunities include strengthening 4th grade, sustaining recent subgroup improvements, and closing the gap with Hillcrest.
