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.

It's a good school but, a little run down. The lunch isn't very good considering kids who can't pay for it but, "make too much money" won't get it free.

My overall experience at Oak Grove High School has been very beneficial and substantial. I have learned many valuable lessons from my teachers and classmates and I will forever be thankful for the four years I spent there. Many people at the high school building have effected my life in a positive way and I have learned many things. Not only educational aspects but valuable life lessons and how to deal with certain things I might face out in the real world. My school and town is a very close community and I love the environment and small town feel that my school provides. I love all of the traditions that my school does every year. The faculty is very involved in each students lives and never fails to miss a school concert or game. Everyone supports each other and that is something that I admire from my time at OGHS.

Half the teachers coach sports and have heavy favoritism, letting those athletic students get...

Academically they cannot compete with other school districts. They just do not have the course offerings. A lot of emphasis is placed on sports over academics. If you are an average student or high achieving, you will be fine. Otherwise, you will struggle and be left to figure it out for yourself.

this was a fantastic school when randy McLain was the principal. Once Mr McClain retired the school went downhill quickly. The principal and the Vice Principal do not care about the bullying situation that we have at our school they act like they don't want to be bothered. The only thing this school...

I have 2 daughters that attended the Oak Grove High School. My oldest daughter graduated early and was punished for being intelligent and motivated. The principal and school board would not let her attend her senior prom or walk with her class at graduation. In which I think is ridiculous. Money is...
