Summary:
The Oak Hill R-I school district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Oak Hill Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently performed below the state average, ranking in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools for the past few years.
Oak Hill Elementary's academic achievement is significantly lower than the state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA). For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is 24% compared to the state average of 41.4%, and in 4th grade ELA, the proficiency rate is 20.1% compared to the state average of 44.8%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.7%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's small student-teacher ratio of 11.2 and higher per-student spending of $10,547, Oak Hill Elementary serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.86%. This suggests the school faces significant challenges in supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the academic achievement gaps, attendance issues, and providing targeted interventions should be the district's and school's top priorities to improve student outcomes.
