Oak Grove High

Summary:

Oak Grove High is a public high school located in San Jose, California, serving 1,522 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the East Side Union High School District, which is ranked 693 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Grove High has consistently ranked in the top third of California high schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 5 years. The school performs well for male students, ranking in the top 25-30% of California high schools, but its performance for female, Asian, and Hispanic students has been more average, ranking in the middle 30-50%. Notably, the school's performance for African American and multi-racial students has been below average, ranking in the bottom 30% of California high schools. Oak Grove High has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 85.1% to 91.2% over the past 5 years, but its dropout rate of 5-8% is higher than the state average.

One interesting finding is that Summit Public School: Tahoma, a high-performing public charter school, is located just 0.1 miles from Oak Grove High. Additionally, Oak Grove High has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39-45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to higher-income schools like Leland High. The school's significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 17.1% in 2018-2019 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, is also a concerning trend that may be impacting its academic outcomes.

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.
