Summary:
The city of Grove, Oklahoma is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this district face some notable challenges, with middle school performance declining in recent years, but also showcase some bright spots, such as the consistently strong performance of Grove Lower Elementary School.
Grove Lower Elementary School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 32nd out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2015-2016 and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state average in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, the two middle schools in the Grove district, Grove Upper Elementary School and Grove Middle School, have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, indicating a need for improvement in the middle school curriculum and teaching practices.
The schools in Grove also face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all the schools, ranging from 67.38% at Grove High School to 74.35% at Grove Lower Elementary School. This suggests the district may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
