Summary

Oak Grove Elementary School in Cleveland, TN is a PreK-5 public school serving 383 students in the Bradley County Schools district. The school has a 2-star rating and currently ranks in the 34th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools, a significant decline from its 4-star ranking just a few years ago.

In terms of academics, Oak Grove shows a mixed profile. ELA proficiency (42.0%) is right at state and district averages, but math (37.3%) and science (33.7%) trail behind. The most striking weakness is science, which has remained stuck near 33-35% for four straight years. Grade-level data reveals an unusual pattern: 4th grade students perform near or above district averages in math and ELA, while 3rd graders lag dramatically — only 31.7% are proficient in ELA compared to the district's 50.1%. Chronic absenteeism is also elevated at 17.0%, higher than the district average and notably above the 10-12% rates seen at nearby high-performing schools.

Compared to other schools, Oak Grove outperforms most Cleveland City Schools like Mayfield Elementary School and G.R. Stuart Elementary School, but falls significantly behind high-performing neighbors in its own district. Michigan Avenue Elementary School (91st percentile) and Park View Elementary School (73rd percentile) achieve far higher proficiency rates, with Michigan Avenue's science scores more than double Oak Grove's. The most urgent priorities should be strengthening 3rd-grade reading and math, investigating what makes the 4th-grade team successful, addressing attendance, and reviewing the science curriculum — while noting that spending is already relatively high at $12,959 per student.
