Summary:
The Otterville R-VI school district in Missouri has only one high school, Otterville High, which serves grades 6-12. With an enrollment of just 104 students, Otterville High faces significant academic challenges, performing well below state averages on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Otterville High's 4-year graduation rate is 93.3%, but the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1%. Despite spending $16,560 per student, which is higher than the national average, the school's academic performance remains poor, with proficiency rates ranging from just 6% to 23.2% on state assessments. Otterville High's statewide ranking has also declined from 275 out of 358 schools in 2020-2021 to a concerning 367 out of 367 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
The small size of Otterville High may present both challenges and opportunities, but the school's leadership and the Otterville R-VI district will need to closely examine the factors contributing to the school's poor academic outcomes and implement targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement.
