Summary:
The Oak Grove R-VI school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Oak Grove High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.5%, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, particularly in Algebra I and Algebra II.
Oak Grove High's four-year graduation rate is higher than the state average, but it has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is also above the state average. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with students scoring below the state average in Algebra I and Algebra II, but performing better than the state average in English II and Government. Approximately 27.42% of Oak Grove High's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite spending slightly more per student and having a student-teacher ratio that is slightly higher than the state average, Oak Grove High's academic performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 111 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023 to 168 out of 367 schools in 2024-2025. While the school has some areas of strength, such as its relatively high graduation rate, it appears to be a relatively average-performing school in the state of Missouri, and further analysis would be needed to identify the root causes of its academic performance and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
