Summary:
The 64075 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district. While Oak Grove High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a 3-star rating and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, the district as a whole faces challenges in academic achievement, particularly in the middle and elementary schools.
Oak Grove Middle School is ranked 254th out of 459 Missouri middle schools and has relatively low test scores compared to the state, especially in 8th-grade Math and Science. However, the school has a high proficiency rate in Algebra I. In contrast, Oak Grove Primary and Oak Grove Elementary generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the district.
A key concern across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. This, coupled with the inconsistent performance across the schools, suggests a need for a more coordinated approach to improving academic outcomes and addressing equity issues within the Oak Grove R-VI school district.
