Summary:
Oak Ridge R-VI school district in Missouri has only one high school, Oak Ridge High. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a strong 96.7% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a 12.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average.
Academically, Oak Ridge High generally underperforms compared to state averages on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 6th grade English Language Arts, the school scored 10.6% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.6%. The school's strongest performance is in 7th grade Mathematics, where it scored 41.3% proficient or better, slightly higher than the state average of 39.5%. The school serves a population with a relatively high 33.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic outcomes.
Despite the higher spending per student ($10,831) and lower student-teacher ratio (10.6) at Oak Ridge High, the academic performance has not yet reached the state-level benchmarks. The school's leadership and the Oak Ridge R-VI district may need to focus on addressing the chronic absenteeism and improving overall academic proficiency to better support student learning and success.
