In the fall of 1882, W.H. Sifford led the effort for a new school district on the west side of Honey Lake. The two nearest schools were nearly five miles away in either direction—Milford to the south and Lake to the north. In May 1883, the Oak Grove School District became a reality. The nucleus of the student population came from Clark, Decious and Raker families. It should be noted that the Wales, Wilburs, Lindsay, Fisher and Grass families also contributed to the student population. Like so many rural schools in 1920, the enrollment had declined to such an extent it was closed. In 1922, with no indication that the school would be resurrected, it was annexed to the Lake School District. The school was torn down in February 1926.
