Academically, Osage County Elementary's performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools like Blair Oaks Intermediate and South Callaway Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in Math are particularly low, ranging from 25% to 46% across grades, compared to the state average of 38.2% to 43.8%. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are closer to the state average, ranging from 39.9% to 44.8% across grades. Additionally, Osage County Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.1% to 12.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Blair Oaks schools.

Interestingly, Osage County Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 265 out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 487 out of 900 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's performance for White students and low-socioeconomic status students is particularly low, ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri elementary schools in these subgroups. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as district-level policies, resources, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the performance differences between Osage County Elementary and the nearby high-performing schools.
