Oak Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Medford, Oregon, serving 416 students in grades K-5 and part of the Medford School District 549C.

Despite being part of the district, Oak Grove Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to both the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.5% of 3rd graders, 29.9% of 4th graders, and 42.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district averages of 38.3%, 38%, and 47.7%, respectively. Similarly, in Mathematics, only 14.8% of 3rd graders, 34.3% of 4th graders, and 15.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to the district averages of 37.8%, 36.1%, and 28.5%. This poor academic performance has led to a steady decline in the school's statewide ranking, dropping from 222 out of 695 Oregon elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 542 out of 710 in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, there are several nearby elementary schools within the Medford School District that are outperforming Oak Grove Elementary School, such as Jacksonville Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 10% of Oregon elementary schools. Additionally, Oak Grove Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles.

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.
