Summary:
The city of Slater, Missouri is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Alexander Elementary and Orearville Elementary) and 1 high school (Slater High).

Orearville Elementary has a significantly lower chronic absenteeism rate, a higher past ranking among Missouri elementary schools, and a lower percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch compared to the other schools in Slater. Additionally, the school has a more favorable student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger performance.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students across the Slater schools highlights the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities and providing targeted support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Slater and Orearville R-IV school districts.
