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.

Personally, the people I have met in the school were nice and friendly people. However, there are not much activities or clubs in the school. It is what I hope to see change.

Overall, my time here at Oak Grove has been enjoyable. The teachers and staff here are all nice and friendly, making them easy to connect to. The worst parts about my experience here is that there are a decent amount of fights. I would like to see more supervision on campus as there's people always smoking in the bathrooms.

I love Oak Grove High School! I feel like it is so diverse compared to other schools and the students and staff are always so nice and supportive. All of the teachers I have had so far have been there for me when I needed extra help or if I just wanted to talk.

My son is this school and I couldnt have asked better. The focus on learning and development is applaudable. Students are encouraged to take PSAT. Not only students but his friends are also motivated and teachers go above and beyond to help and nuture his students.

Surprising how happy I am with this school. They care about their students and really go the extra mile to ensure a supportive, safe, stimulating environment for their students.
