Summary:
The Otterville school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Otterville Elementary and Otterville High. While both schools have relatively low statewide rankings and performance metrics compared to state averages, the district faces several challenges, including a lack of diversity, academic underperformance, and socioeconomic disadvantages among its student population.
Academically, both Otterville Elementary and Otterville High perform significantly below the state averages in Math and English Language Arts proficiency, with Otterville Elementary ranking 951 out of 1,052 Missouri elementary schools and Otterville High ranking 275 out of 358 Missouri high schools. Additionally, the student populations at both schools are highly homogeneous, with over 90% of students identifying as white.
Despite the district's relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population suggest that the Otterville R-VI district may need to focus on improving educational outcomes and providing more equitable opportunities for all students.
