Summary:
The Orrick R-Xi school district in Missouri operates two schools, Orrick Elementary and Orrick High, both of which are underperforming compared to state averages. The district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, both Orrick Elementary and Orrick High have seen their rankings decline in recent years, with Orrick Elementary ranking 743 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and Orrick High ranking 267 out of 352 Missouri high schools. Proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts are significantly below state averages, ranging from 11.7% to 25% proficient or better at the elementary level and 16.6% to 23.8% proficient or better at the high school level.
Despite relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 13.1 at Orrick Elementary and 8.5 at Orrick High, the schools are struggling to improve student outcomes. The high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the district. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve the needs of the community.
