Summary

Owensville High is a public high school located in Owensville, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 569 students. The school is part of the Gasconade County R-II School District, which is ranked 260 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Owensville High has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Missouri high schools, with a ranking between 196 and 255 over the past several years. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent years, indicating average performance compared to other Missouri high schools. In comparison, the nearby schools of Bourbon High (1-2 stars), Linn High (3-4 stars), and Belle High (1-3 stars) have similar or lower ratings, suggesting Owensville High is performing on par with or slightly better than its immediate neighbors.

Owensville High's student performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, with the exception of English I, where the school's proficiency rates are closer to the state average. The school has a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.2% to 44.92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Despite this challenge, Owensville High's performance for its low-income students is relatively strong, with the school ranking in the top half of Missouri high schools for this subgroup. However, the school has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.4% to 21.7% in recent years, which may be contributing to its overall academic performance.
