Oak Grove Elementary

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary is a public elementary school located in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 283 students in grades K-5. It is part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Oak Grove Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic students and students from low-income families, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Oregon elementary schools for these subgroups. In contrast, nearby schools in the Lake Oswego School District and Riverdale School District perform exceptionally well, with several schools ranking in the top 5-22 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools.

The stark contrast in academic performance between Oak Grove Elementary and its neighboring schools suggests that factors beyond resources, such as curriculum, instruction, and school culture, may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges. Collaboration with high-performing schools in the region could provide valuable insights and best practices that could be adapted to benefit Oak Grove's students and help the school improve its academic outcomes.

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.
