Summary:
The city of Oran, Missouri is home to two schools: Oran High School and Oran Elementary School, both part of the Oran R-III district. While Oran High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it maintains an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Oran Elementary School has maintained a respectable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, though its test scores are somewhat mixed compared to state averages.
Oran High School's test scores vary, with some subjects like English I performing well above the state average, while others like Algebra II are significantly below. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.5%, which is an area of concern. Oran Elementary School's test scores are also mixed, with strong performance in 6th grade Mathematics but lower scores in 5th grade Science and 3rd grade English Language Arts.
The data suggests potential equity concerns, as Oran Elementary School has a higher free/reduced lunch rate compared to Oran High School. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Oran High School compared to Oran Elementary School is an interesting finding that warrants further investigation to understand how these funds are being allocated and whether they are effectively supporting student learning. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for a more comprehensive evaluation of the factors driving the performance of these schools to address the identified areas of concern and improve educational outcomes for students in the Oran community.
