Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 558 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Union School District, which is ranked 255 out of 342 districts in the state.

Over the past several years, Grove Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the Union district and the state of Oklahoma, with only 39% of 3rd graders and 56% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 26% of 3rd graders and 14% of 4th graders meeting or exceeding math standards. In contrast, nearby schools like Andersen Elementary and Peters Elementary, which are also part of the Union district, have significantly higher test scores and school rankings.

One factor that may contribute to Grove Elementary's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low-income families, with 89.43% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 60.52% to 96.19% free/reduced lunch. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6 and higher per-student spending of $9,330, these resources have not yet translated into meaningful improvements in student achievement. The school's consistent underperformance over the past decade suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to help address the unique challenges faced by the students and community at 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.

I was a student teacher here and I can tell you they are doing everything right. There is a large percentage of ELL students, so this makes scores harder to achieve, but the students visibly progress so much. Each student is met at their own level at every grade in every subject. The efficiency with which this school is run is amazing. Close Quote

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.
