Summary:
The city of Orrick, Missouri is home to two schools - Orrick Elementary and Orrick High, both part of the Orrick R-Xi school district. While the schools have relatively small class sizes, they face significant challenges, with both Orrick Elementary and Orrick High ranking well below the state average in academic performance.
Orrick Elementary ranks 743 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools, with just 11.7% to 25% of students proficient in Math and English Language Arts. Orrick High fares slightly better, ranking 267 out of 352 Missouri high schools, but still has proficiency rates in Math ranging from only 16.6% to 23.8%. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings in recent years, indicating a need for improvement in the overall quality of education.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the schools' challenges, with over 50% of Orrick Elementary students and 41% of Orrick High students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the racial makeup of both schools is predominantly white, with low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. While the schools have relatively small class sizes and higher per-student spending, the data suggests an imbalance in resource allocation that may be impacting student achievement.
