Best Public Schools in Westphalia, MO

Summary:

The city of Westphalia, Missouri is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Fatima Elementary and Osage County R-III Preschool) and one high school (Fatima High). These schools are part of the Osage County R-III school district, which is ranked 43 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating, indicating strong overall performance.

Fatima High stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Missouri high schools with a current ranking of 92 out of 367 schools. The school boasts a 97.1% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and its students perform well on state assessments, exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts, Algebra I, and 8th grade Science. In contrast, while the elementary schools also show strong metrics, they do not quite reach the same level of excellence as the high school.

Interestingly, Fatima Elementary spends significantly more per student ($13,888) compared to Fatima High ($9,214), which may contribute to the elementary school's strong performance. However, the very high student-teacher ratio of 57:1 at Osage County R-III Preschool is concerning and may impact the quality of education and individualized attention students receive at that level.
