While Grove Upper Elementary has some strengths, it also faces significant challenges. The school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.5% in 2024-2025 to 19.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 11.7%. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects, with only 25% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.74% to 72.88%, indicating the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.

Interestingly, Grove Middle School, which serves the next grade level, consistently outperforms Grove Upper Elementary on test scores, suggesting that the challenges faced by the upper elementary school may be more specific to that grade level. Additionally, the nearby schools in the Wyandotte and Ketchum districts generally have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates than Grove Upper Elementary, indicating that the issues faced by the school may be more widespread in the region.
