Summary

Osawatomie High is a public high school in Osawatomie, Kansas, serving 295 students in grades 9–12. The most pressing concern for families is chronic absenteeism: 49% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 31% in the district and 18% statewide. The rate has remained high for several years, ranging from 45% to 49%, and is far above the 13% average among four nearby traditional high schools.

Academically, the school is stronger in ELA and math than its district, but its results remain below state rates. Proficiency was 41% in ELA and 37% in math, versus 32% and 30% in the district and 46% and 41% statewide. Among nearby traditional high schools, Osawatomie ranked in the middle for both subjects. Science is the clearest weakness: 25% were proficient, below the district’s 28% and the state’s 38%; the nearby-school average was 41%, leaving Osawatomie lowest among the five schools compared.

ELA and math have improved substantially since 2022–23, rising from 9% to 41% in ELA and from 11% to 37% in math, while the gaps with the state narrowed. Science proficiency was 25% in both 2022–23 and 2025–26, and the gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger ranks Osawatomie 188th of 340 Kansas schools, at the 45th percentile with two stars; its percentile rose from 12 to 45 over two years. Its student-teacher ratio is 10.8, below the nearby-peer average of 13.8, while its 56% free/reduced-lunch rate is above all four peers’ reported rates. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students is notably higher than the overall ranking: 87th percentile, compared with 45th overall.
