GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The administrators were awful. However, the educators were knowledgable and caring. I just wish the administrators had half of the heart that the educators did.

Oak Grove High School is great! The teachers at the school are always there to help and walk you through everything. The school is always clean and they never stop you from living up to what you want to be. You will never find mean staff or any workers who dislike their job. Overall Oak Grove is such a great school and I would recommend it to anyone!
