Summary

Oak Grove Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Oak Grove, Missouri, with 442 students enrolled. The school is part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district, which is ranked 174 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oak Grove Elementary maintains a consistent 3-star rating, the school faces several challenges compared to the state and nearby schools. It has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, with a 19.5% rate in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 15.7%. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 36.9%, compared to the state average of 41.4%, and the 5th grade science proficiency rate was 38.1%, lower than the state average of 42.2%.

When compared to the nearby Blue Springs R-IV district schools, Oak Grove Elementary's performance is significantly lower across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and subgroup performance. For instance, in 2024-2025, the 3rd grade math proficiency rate at Daniel Young Elementary was 49%, significantly higher than Oak Grove Elementary's 36.9%. The higher free and reduced-price lunch rates at Oak Grove Elementary, at 33.94% in 2023-2024, may indicate that the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the observed challenges.
