Summary

Oak Grove Middle is a public middle school located in Oak Grove, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 471 students. The school is part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district, which is ranked 174 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oak Grove Middle's performance on Algebra I End of Course exams is relatively stronger, with 71.6% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024 compared to the state average of 41.5%, the school's proficiency rates in MAP assessments for Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are consistently lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Bernard C. Campbell Middle, Delta Woods Middle, and the Grain Valley middle schools. Additionally, Oak Grove Middle has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools, ranging from 16.4% to 19.5% in recent years.

The school's performance on state assessments for specific student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is generally lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools. While the reasons for these differences are not entirely clear, factors such as the school's lower spending per student compared to nearby schools and the higher chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing to the challenges Oak Grove Middle faces in improving academic outcomes for all students.
