Orrick Elementary

Summary:

Orrick Elementary is a public elementary school in Orrick, Missouri, serving 170 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Orrick R-Xi school district, which is ranked 313 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orrick Elementary stands out in several ways compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.76%) than the more diverse student populations at schools like Sunrise Elementary and Excelsior Springs Ear Children Center. Academically, Orrick Elementary's performance on MAP tests is consistently lower than state averages and the nearby schools, with only 20.8% of 4th-graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 43.8%. Despite relatively high per-student spending ranging from $11,156 to $13,262 over the past four years, the school's academic outcomes remain below par.

Orrick Elementary also serves a high percentage of students (51.76%) from low-income families eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 411 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 743 out of 898 in 2022-2023, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 1 star. These factors suggest that Orrick Elementary faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and additional resources and strategies may be needed to address these issues.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
