Oak Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cleveland, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 406 and is part of the Bradley County school district.

While Oak Grove Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (75.86%) compared to the surrounding schools, its performance has been declining in recent years. The school has seen a drop in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating in the last two school years, which is lower than the mostly 3-4 star ratings of nearby schools like Taylor Elementary School and D.P. Yates Primary. Oak Grove's student performance on TNReady assessments is generally lower than the Bradley County and Tennessee state averages across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (32.1%) and English Language Arts (39.1%) falling below the district and state.

Interestingly, Oak Grove Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools in 2021-2022, White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds rank in the bottom 40% of the state. This suggests that the school may need to address issues of equity and provide targeted support to these underperforming groups. Additionally, the surrounding schools in the Cleveland district generally perform worse than Oak Grove Elementary on standardized tests and have lower statewide rankings, indicating that the challenges faced by Oak Grove may be reflective of broader issues within the region's education system.

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.
