The institution serves students in grades 9-12 and operates on a 4x4 block schedule with four 94-minute class periods daily. It is one of four high schools in the district, alongside Lumberton, Purvis, and Sumrall, and is supported by 49 staff including four grade-level assistant principals, three lead teachers, five counselors, and an athletic director.

The school's academic catalog comprises 7 Advanced Placement courses, 14 honors courses, and 8 dual credit courses that allow students to earn simultaneous high school and college credit. It also delivers Career & Technical Education through 11 programs at the Lamar County Center for Technical Education (LCCTE), including on-campus Law & Public Safety, Culinary Arts, and Health Science programs for grades 10-12. Beyond academics, the school maintains a comprehensive athletics program (20+ sports across fall, winter, and spring seasons) and an award-winning Fine Arts program featuring Band, Bella Voce Women's Choir, Silhouettes Showchoir, Debate, and Theatre. Technology infrastructure is built on standard educational SaaS platforms including ParentSquare for communications, Active Parent/Student portals for enrollment and grades, SmartPass for scheduling, MySchoolBucks and Nutrislice for meal services, and Google Workspace for productivity.

As a government-funded public school, Oak Grove provides free education to enrolled students, with revenue derived entirely from state and local tax allocations through the Lamar County School District rather than from tuition or commercial fees. The only optional charges relate to AP exam fees and dual credit course fees. The institution's customer base consists of students residing within its assigned attendance zone, along with their parents and military-connected families, who are reached through ParentSquare, the school website, social media, PTO, and DonorsChoose community channels.
