Oak Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tampa, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 803. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oak Grove shares the same district and rating as nearby schools like Seminole Elementary and Alexander Elementary, its performance on key metrics is significantly lower. Oak Grove has a much higher Hispanic student population (65%) compared to nearby schools, and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 32.7% to 43%. Additionally, Oak Grove's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39% of 3rd graders at Oak Grove were proficient in ELA, compared to 51% in the district and 55% statewide.

The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch percentages ranging from 77.71% to 93.09%, and the high chronic absenteeism rates at Oak Grove may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance compared to its peers. While the school's challenges may be influenced by factors beyond its control, the analysis suggests that Oak Grove could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve outcomes for the students.

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.
