Summary:
The Orrick R-Xi school district in Missouri has only one high school, Orrick High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state average across multiple subject areas and grade levels, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve student learning outcomes.
Orrick High has a predominantly White student population (86.78%), with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (41.32%). The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Missouri high schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1 and spends $15,611 per student, which is higher than the state average.
The analysis of the Orrick High data set highlights the need for the school district to explore factors that contribute to the academic performance of its student population, particularly the economically disadvantaged and minority subgroups. Aligning resource allocation with strategies to improve student outcomes and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial in addressing the school's persistent challenges and providing a high-quality education to its students.
