Summary

Oak Grove High is a public high school serving 569 students in grades 9-12 in Oak Grove, Missouri, which is part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district. While the district is ranked 174 out of 367 in the state, Oak Grove High has faced some challenges in recent years, including underperforming on standardized tests, declining graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

Compared to the state and district averages, Oak Grove High has struggled, with only 12% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 27.1% for the district and 45.4% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 97.5% in 2021-2022 to 91.5% in 2023-2024, which is lower than the state average of around 95%. Additionally, Oak Grove High has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21%, significantly higher than the state average of 15%.

While Oak Grove High faces these challenges, it is located near several higher-performing schools, such as Grain Valley High and Blue Springs High/Blue Springs South High, which consistently outperform Oak Grove High across various metrics. By learning from and collaborating with these neighboring schools, Oak Grove High may be able to address its areas of concern and provide a more equitable and effective education for its students.
