Oak Grove Elementary

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary is a public elementary school serving 434 students in grades 3-5 in Oak Grove, Missouri, which is part of the Oak Grove R-VI school district. While the district is ranked 174 out of 386 in Missouri and has a 3-star rating, Oak Grove Elementary faces several challenges that set it apart from nearby schools.

One key concern is the school's consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 19.5% in recent years, which are above the state average. Additionally, Oak Grove Elementary's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are generally below the state averages, especially in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders proficient or better in MAP Mathematics was 34.8%, 39.1%, and 43.1% respectively, compared to the state averages of 40.8%, 44.4%, and 38.4%. The school's performance on MAP tests for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, is also significantly lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools in the Blue Springs R-IV and Grain Valley R-V districts, Oak Grove Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Daniel Young Elementary and Lucy Franklin Elementary in Blue Springs have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Oak Grove Elementary. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past several years, from 253 out of 1,089 Missouri elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 443 out of 906 in 2023-2024, is also a concerning trend.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
