Summary

Oak Grove High is a public comprehensive high school in Winston Salem, NC, serving about 992 students in grades 9–12 as part of Davidson County Schools. The school currently ranks 244th of 662 North Carolina high schools (63rd percentile, earning 3 stars) and serves a more economically mixed student body than many nearby schools: 34.0% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with 41.8% at North Davidson High and over 51% at Ledford Senior High.

Oak Grove’s standout number is attendance: a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.4% — roughly half the district rate of 10.5% and far below the statewide average of 24.2%. Nearby Ledford Senior High (7.1%) and North Davidson High (8.1%) do not come close, and both are far healthier than High Point Central High (40.0%) or Thomasville High (36.9%). That engagement likely helps drive Oak Grove’s 93.3% graduation rate, above the district’s 88.0% and the state’s 87.7%. Academic proficiency is also consistently strong: Oak Grove beats both district and state averages in Biology (73.7%), English II (72.1%), and Math III (75.3%), and it generally outperforms neighboring comprehensive high schools — Biology proficiency at Ledford Senior High is 56.6%, for example, versus 65.9% at North Davidson High.

The clearest area for improvement is Math I, where only 44.8% of students test proficient — far below Oak Grove’s other scores, though improved from 30.3% the year before. English Learner outcomes also need attention, with a statewide subgroup ranking near the 29th percentile. On the other hand, the school earns strong marks with gifted students (83rd percentile), multiracial students (79th percentile), and special education students (73rd percentile). Davidson Early College, just 5.6 miles away, posts nearly perfect proficiency rates, but it is a selective early college with only 138 students; among traditional comprehensive high schools in the area, Oak Grove offers a rare combination of high attendance, strong graduation rates, and above-average test scores.
