Oak Grove Middle

Oak Grove Middle sits in Concord, a working-class city in the East Bay where housing is more affordable than much of the Bay Area but the cost-of-living pressures are still real for many families. The school serves grades 6-8 within Mt. Diablo Unified, and its scores — particularly in English and Science — show some bright spots, but families looking for a strong academic environment will want to weigh those numbers carefully and get involved early. For parents who are engaged and willing to supplement at home or through tutoring, this can still be a supportive community to navigate the middle school years.
