Public Grades K-6

Summary

Oran Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in Oran, Missouri, part of the Oran R-III school district. Despite a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, Oran Elementary continues to be a high-performing school, consistently outperforming the state average in mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency.

One of Oran Elementary's key strengths is its exceptional performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2022-2023, 52.45% of the school's students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, yet Oran Elementary ranked 16th out of 907 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019 for this subgroup.
