Oak Grove Elementary School

Q: Is Oak Grove Elementary School a good school?

Oak Grove Elementary School ranks 1446 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 472 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in the state.

While Oak Grove shares many demographic characteristics with nearby schools, it stands out in several key areas. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (87.92%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 30.36% to 84.57% African American. Oak Grove also consistently experiences higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.3% to 32.3% over the past few years, in contrast with nearby schools that have rates between 8.6% and 30.0%. Academically, Oak Grove's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency at just 35% compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for the state.

The school's high rates of poverty, as indicated by the 79.66% to 93.47% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the lower academic performance and chronic absenteeism issues. While Oak Grove has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $11,359 to $13,784 over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 1241 out of 2118 Florida elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1446 out of 2256 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests that the school is facing unique challenges that may require targeted interventions and collaboration with the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Natural Bridge Elementary School, Thomas Jefferson Biscayne Gardens K-8 Academy, and Greynolds Park Elementary School, to improve student outcomes.

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.
