Summary

Oak Grove School is an elementary school serving 125 students in grades PK-6 in Brattleboro, Vermont, which is part of the Windham Southeast Unified Union School District #96. While the district is ranked 24 out of 75 in the state, Oak Grove School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state, especially in 5th grade Math.

Oak Grove School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, ranging from 7.9 to 10.2 over the past few years. However, the school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.28% to 71.54%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the district. The school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining, from 86th out of 133 Vermont elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 73rd out of 137 in 2024-2025.

Oak Grove School is located in close proximity to several other elementary schools in the Windham Southeast Unified Union School District, including Putney Central School and Guilford Central School, which have higher academic performance and lower free/reduced lunch rates. The school's small size and high poverty rate may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance, and further investigation into strategies for addressing these challenges would be beneficial.
