Summary:
The Oak Grove Union Elementary district in California is home to two elementary schools: Oak Grove Elementary/Willowside Middle and Oak Grove Elementary. While both serve the local community, Oak Grove Elementary/Willowside Middle stands out as the stronger performer, with higher enrollment, a wider grade range, and a history of academic excellence.
Oak Grove Elementary/Willowside Middle has consistently ranked in the top 25% of California elementary schools over the past three years, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong results in 5th grade ELA and 3rd grade Math. In contrast, Oak Grove Elementary serves a smaller student population and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, which may contribute to its relatively lower academic standing.
While the two schools serve different student demographics, with Oak Grove Elementary/Willowside Middle having a lower free/reduced lunch rate, the district may benefit from exploring opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing to support student success across all schools. By leveraging the strengths of the higher-performing school, the district can work to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Oak Grove Union Elementary community.
