Summary:
The Osawatomie school district in Kansas consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district appears to be facing challenges in academic performance, with the Osawatomie Middle School standing out as the strongest performer in the district.
The Osawatomie Middle School has a statewide ranking of 182 out of 362 Kansas middle schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Osawatomie High School has only 12.97% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16.21% in Math, well below the state averages.
The schools in the Osawatomie district have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.92% at the high school to 78.41% at the Swenson Early Childhood Education Center. This indicates a high-need student population, and the district's higher per-student spending, particularly at the early childhood center, suggests an effort to support these students. However, the low test scores across the district suggest that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or student engagement, may need to be addressed.
