Grove Upper Elementary School

Summary:

Grove Upper Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Grove, Oklahoma, with a total enrollment of 507 students. The school is part of the Grove School District, which is ranked 213 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grove Upper Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 51.48% White, 29.59% Native American, and smaller percentages of other races. The school's test scores are generally on par or slightly above the state average in English Language Arts, but its 5th-grade Math proficiency rate of 15% is significantly lower than the state average of 27%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.74% to 69.82%, which is higher than nearby schools. However, Grove Upper Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 16.1, which is lower than the nearby schools.

Interestingly, the percentage of Native American students at Grove Upper Elementary has decreased from 43.04% to 29.59% over the past few years, which may warrant further investigation. The school's inconsistent test score performance and high free/reduced lunch rates suggest potential equity concerns that the school and district should address. While Grove Upper Elementary has some unique characteristics, such as its diverse student population and low student-teacher ratio, it faces similar challenges to its peers in the region, and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school reach its full potential.

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.
