While Arbor Grove's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 13.2 to 13.8 in recent years, this does not appear to be enough to overcome the school's other challenges. Arbor Grove's performance is generally lower than the nearby Rollingwood Elementary and Central Elementary schools in the Putnam City district, but it outperforms some other nearby schools in the Oklahoma City district, such as Monroe Elementary and Buchanan Elementary, which have even lower test scores and higher rates of poverty.

Open Quote The school seems to not want to share my child's school records even when requested multiple times. As for disciplinary records, they refuse to release them. Even contacting Fred Rhodes the Putnam School superintendent seems to do no good either. I feel there must be something else happening at this school that they do not want publically known. My child has complained of being grabbed by teachers and administrators at this school but seems they refuse to release any information as far as dicipline is taken with students at this school.
