Oran R-III

The Oran R-III school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Oran High School and Oran Elementary School. While Oran High School has seen significant performance improvements, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, the district as a whole has room for growth, with a 2-star rating and ranking of 228 out of 386 Missouri school districts.

Oran High School stands out as the stronger performer, with a 100% four-year graduation rate and improved statewide ranking, moving from 49th to 92nd out of 352 Missouri high schools. However, the school's test scores are mixed, performing better than the state average in 7th-grade math and English I, but lagging behind in Algebra I, Algebra II, and 8th-grade math. In contrast, Oran Elementary School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a greater need for economic support at the elementary level.

The performance gap between the high school and elementary school suggests the district may need to focus on improving the elementary school's outcomes to better prepare students for success at the high school level. Additionally, the district's overall ranking and 2-star rating indicate room for improvement across the district, particularly in areas where both schools are underperforming, such as Algebra II and 8th-grade math. Addressing these areas and supporting economically disadvantaged students could be key strategies for the Oran R-III school district to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
