Oak Ridge High

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Oak Ridge High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Oak Ridge, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 180 students. The school is part of the Oak Ridge R-VI school district, which is ranked 322 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Ridge High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.1% to 96.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 8.4% to 16.6% in recent years. Oak Ridge High's test scores in various subjects and grade levels are generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly below the state and district averages in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.16% to 34.44% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Leopold High, Oak Ridge High generally performs worse in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and school rankings. For example, Leopold High, located about 20 miles away, has consistently higher test scores and a 100% four-year graduation rate. The combination of lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students suggests that Oak Ridge High may face challenges in improving student outcomes and overall school performance.
