Oak Grove is a wonderful school and in a perfect town to raise a family. I went to Oak Grove K-8, and I have been very impressed with the education my daughter is now getting. I would recommend this school to anyone. The teachers are focused, energized, and truly care about the students. I work with consultants who teach the teachers and they too have been very impressed with how serious the teachers are about their profession.

My sister, brother, & myself went to both Oak Grove East & West for school. I thought it was a great school. We were safe and well educated while having some fun at the same time. My step-daughter is currently enrolled at Oak Grove West in the 7th grade. Before coming to Oak Grove, she was bounced from 3 different district 150 schools, all of which her father & I were very disappointed with. I am very happy my step- daughter goes to Oak Grove. She is able to walk and ride her bike to school & home, something she never could have done safely in Peoria. I think the rating for Oak Grove is a little low. My opinion would be a 9 or least an 8.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 4 and 7 in science. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
