High Schools in Odessa R-Vii

Summary:

The Odessa High is the sole high school located within the Odessa R-VII school district in Missouri. Serving grades 9-12, the school has an enrollment of 651 students. While the school has historically performed well, recent data suggests a decline in its statewide ranking and rating.

Odessa High's four-year graduation rate remains high at 97.3%, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 22.7% is a concern. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests lag behind both the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students (32.1%) at Odessa High qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status.

Despite the school's declining performance, it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and spends $11,091 per student. These factors, along with the school's historical success, suggest opportunities for improvement and targeted interventions to address the academic achievement gaps and attendance issues observed in recent years.
