Middle Schools in Gasconade County R-II

Summary:

The Gasconade County R-II school district in Missouri has only one middle school, Owensville Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 406 students. While there are no other middle schools in the district to directly compare it to, Owensville Middle's performance can be evaluated against state-level averages in Missouri.

Over the past three school years, Owensville Middle's statewide ranking has declined, from 212 out of 451 schools in 2023-2024 to 286 out of 438 schools in 2024-2025, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the MAP tests are consistently lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For example, in 8th grade ELA, Owensville Middle had a 35.7% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 42.2%. Additionally, the school has a high poverty rate, with over 50% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which can impact academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Owensville Middle spends $8,750 per student, which is lower than the state average, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1. The school's declining performance and academic underachievement suggest that it may benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to address the needs of its student population and improve overall outcomes.
