Oak Grove Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with a relatively small percentage of White and African American students.

Oak Grove Elementary's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and At-Risk students, is particularly concerning, as they rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. The school's relatively high per-student spending and stable student-teacher ratio suggest that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. The consistently low performance and demographic disparities at Oak Grove Elementary indicate the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
