Fatima Elementary's strong academic performance is reflected in its high state ranking, placing 167th out of 900 Missouri elementary schools.
In contrast, Osage County R-III Preschool is a much smaller school, serving only 57 students in pre-kindergarten. While it has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 5.26% compared to Fatima Elementary's 26.47%, the preschool's very high student-teacher ratio of 57 to 1 may be a concern and could impact the quality of early childhood education provided. Overall, the data suggests that Osage County R-III is fortunate to have a standout school in Fatima Elementary, which appears to be providing a high-quality education to its students.
