Summary:
The 64075 zip code is home to a single middle school, Oak Grove Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, its academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 8.9% in 8th grade to 33% in 7th grade, compared to state averages of 32.7% to 45.5%.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 254th out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2022-2023 to 289th out of 451 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 32.91% in 2023-2024, indicating that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can be a contributing factor to academic challenges.
Despite these concerns, the school's spending per student of $10,361 for the 2021-2022 school year suggests that resources are available to support student learning and school operations. Addressing the root causes of the academic underperformance and aligning resources and strategies to improve student outcomes should be a key focus for the school and district.
