Orrick Elementary

Summary:

Orrick Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Orrick, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 170 students. The school is part of the Orrick R-Xi school district, which is ranked 340 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orrick Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below-average academic performance in both mathematics and English language arts, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.4% of 3rd graders, 20% of 5th graders, and 11.2% of 6th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40.8%, 38.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. While the school spends more per student ($12,940 in 2021-2022) than the state average and nearby schools like Sunrise Elementary ($10,678) and Cornerstone Elementary ($11,880), its performance and statewide ranking have declined over the years, from a high of 3 stars out of 5 in 2016-2017 to just 1 star out of 5 in recent years.

Interestingly, while Orrick Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state averages, there are some nearby schools that also struggle, such as Dear Elementary and Sunrise Elementary. However, schools like Cornerstone Elementary and Elkhorn Elementary demonstrate higher academic achievement, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Orrick Elementary to learn from their practices and address the underlying factors contributing to its challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors.

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.
