Oak Grove Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 47.94% White, 16.93% African American, 18.21% Hispanic, and 7.4% Asian students.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well (ranked in the top 38% of Minnesota middle schools) but Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggling (ranked in the bottom 29% and 27%, respectively).

Compared to nearby middle schools, Oak Grove Middle generally performs worse than higher-ranked schools like Olson Middle and Anthony Middle, but better than lower-performing schools like Eagle Ridge Middle School, Joseph Nicollet Middle School, and Success Academy Bloomington Middle. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, ranging from 37.98% to 45.23% over the past three school years, may be contributing to its academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
