Summary

Otterville High is a public high school located in Otterville, Missouri, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school is part of the Otterville R-VI school district, which is ranked 367 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Otterville High consistently performs significantly below the state average on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6% of students were proficient or better in MAP/Biology I, compared to the state average of 37.3%. The school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.3% to 95.2% in recent years, but this is still slightly below the state average. Otterville High has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.8% to 28.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.58% to 42.86% in recent years, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Otterville High, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the state average, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's underperformance. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 239 out of 516 Missouri high schools in 2009-2010 to 367 out of 367 in 2024-2025, indicates a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. Otterville High's academic performance is also significantly lower than the nearby Morgan County R-I High, Northwest High, and Pilot Grove High, which all have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
