Orrick Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Orrick Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Orrick, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 170 students. The school is part of the Orrick R-Xi school district, which is ranked 340 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orrick Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below-average academic performance in both mathematics and English language arts, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.4% of 3rd graders, 20% of 5th graders, and 11.2% of 6th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40.8%, 38.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. While the school spends more per student ($12,940 in 2021-2022) than the state average and nearby schools like Sunrise Elementary ($10,678) and Cornerstone Elementary ($11,880), its performance and statewide ranking have declined over the years, from a high of 3 stars out of 5 in 2016-2017 to just 1 star out of 5 in recent years.

Interestingly, while Orrick Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state averages, there are some nearby schools that also struggle, such as Dear Elementary and Sunrise Elementary. However, schools like Cornerstone Elementary and Elkhorn Elementary demonstrate higher academic achievement, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Orrick Elementary to learn from their practices and address the underlying factors contributing to its challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors.
