Oak Grove Elementary

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Bloomington, Minnesota, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Bloomington Public School District. With a diverse student population, the school has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Minnesota elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in math, reading, and science assessments.

One of Oak Grove Elementary's key strengths is its strong performance for specific student subgroups, particularly White and African American students. In the 2023-2024 school year, White students at the school ranked 94 out of 730 Minnesota elementary schools in math and 103 out of 712 in reading, both with a 4-star rating. Similarly, African American students ranked 83 out of 310 Minnesota elementary schools in math and 106 out of 282 in reading, with a 4-star rating in math and a 3-star rating in reading. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and English Language Learners has been relatively lower, an area that the school may need to focus on for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Oak Grove Elementary generally outperforms other Bloomington Public School District elementary schools, with the exception of Hillcrest Elementary, which has a similar performance profile. Interestingly, schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Indian Mounds Elementary and Valley View Elementary, have significantly lower academic performance compared to Oak Grove Elementary. Additionally, the ONE91 Virtual Academy Elementary, which serves students from the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, has significantly lower academic performance compared to Oak Grove Elementary.

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.
