Grove

The Grove school district in Oklahoma consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district faces some socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools. However, the data reveals standout performance at Grove Lower Elementary School and Grove Middle School, which have outperformed state averages on standardized tests and maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios.

Grove Lower Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 32nd out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's diverse student population and strong 3rd-grade math proficiency, outpacing the state average, are particularly noteworthy. In contrast, Grove High School lags behind, with relatively low proficiency rates in 11th-grade math, science, and English language arts.

The data also reveals that Grove Middle School is another standout, ranking 64th out of 407 Oklahoma middle schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school's strong performance in 8th-grade science proficiency and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it may be a model for the rest of the district. Overall, the Grove school district presents a mixed picture, with pockets of excellence alongside areas in need of improvement, particularly in addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.
