Summary:
The Osage County R-II district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Osage County Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade.

Academically, Osage County Elementary has struggled to keep pace with state averages on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests. Its proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade Math, as well as 3rd and 5th grade English Language Arts, fall below the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 176th out of 901 schools in 2020-2021 to 582nd out of 898 schools in 2022-2023. Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and spends $10,583 per student, which is higher than the state average.
While Osage County Elementary may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and resource allocation to improve student outcomes, the lack of racial diversity in the school's student population is also an area that the district may want to address. Overall, the data suggests that the Osage County R-II district has room for improvement in ensuring that all students at Osage County Elementary receive a high-quality education that prepares them for success.
