Summary:
The Gasconade County R-II school district in Missouri has only one middle school, Owensville Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 417 students. While Owensville Middle has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, its academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally below the Missouri state averages across grade levels and subject areas.
The school faces some challenges, including a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9% and a relatively high proportion of students (48.2%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant number of students from low-income families. Despite having slightly above-average per-student spending and a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio, Owensville Middle has not been able to translate these resources into significantly higher academic outcomes for its students.
Overall, while Owensville Middle appears to be a relatively typical middle school in Missouri, there are opportunities for improvement in student learning and engagement. Further analysis of the school's specific strategies, programs, and challenges could provide more insights into how to support its continued development and success.
