Owensville Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 424th out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 640th out of 906 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 to 1 star in 2023-2024. In comparison, the nearby Gerald Elementary school in the same district has a similar ranking and 1-star rating, while other nearby schools like Sullivan Primary and Osage County Elementary have higher rankings and ratings.

Owensville Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on MAP tests, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds presents unique challenges, but the school's strong performance for this subgroup suggests that it may be effectively targeting and supporting these students. However, the school's struggles with other subgroups, such as white students and disabled students, indicate that more comprehensive and equitable support may be needed.

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.
