Owensville High

Summary:

Owensville High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 541 students in Owensville, Missouri, which is part of the Gasconade County R-II School District. While the school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance has generally been below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology I, and English II falling short of Missouri's averages.

Owensville High's four-year graduation rate has remained relatively high, ranging from 90% to 93.6% in recent years, but the school has seen an increase in its dropout rate, rising from 1.6% in 2018-2019 to 2.6% in 2020-2021. The school serves a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 44.92% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Interestingly, the school's performance for this subgroup is relatively better than the state average, while its performance for white students is lower.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Bourbon High, Linn High, and Belle High, Owensville High generally performs better in terms of school ranking and student performance on state assessments. However, Linn High outperforms Owensville High in several areas, including higher proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology I, as well as a higher four-year graduation rate. Additionally, Owensville High has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
