The school has also seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 34.7% in 2021-2022 to 17.0% in 2023-2024, which is an important improvement. Compared to nearby schools, Osceola Elementary generally outperforms Humansville Elementary and Lakeland Elementary in terms of test scores and statewide rankings, but the nearby Weaubleau Elementary school, which is part of the highly-ranked Weaubleau R-III district, consistently outperforms Osceola Elementary across multiple grade levels and subject areas.

Overall, Osceola Elementary is a school with a mixed performance profile, with strengths in mathematics and science proficiency, as well as improvements in chronic absenteeism, but some challenges in English Language Arts. The school generally outperforms nearby schools, but still has room for improvement to reach the level of the top-performing schools in the state.

Both my children attend Osceola Schools. One is in first grade and the other is in third grade. I teach chemistry and physics in a different district. Both of them test well above their grade level in math and reading, I attribute this to both my children who work hard but also to the work of the district. The teachers are very good and care about the students. I check on the homework they have and they are appropriate. There are many opportunities for activities and sports. The school is very clean and well maintained. Compared to surrounding districts, Osceola can be proud of the elementary school we have. Close Quote
