Summary

Osage High is a public high school located in Osage Beach, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 676 students. The school is part of the School of the Osage District, which is ranked 106 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Osage High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.6% to 97.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.8% to 32.7% in recent years, though this is still lower than some nearby schools like Camdenton High (29.0%) and Juvenile Justice Center (29.0%). Osage High's performance on state assessments (MAP) is mixed, with the school performing well in subjects like English II and English I, but struggling in subjects like Algebra II, American History, and Physics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Osage High's performance is varied. While it outperforms some schools, such as Eugene High and Iberia High, in areas like graduation rates and test scores, it lags behind the top-performing school in the region, St. Elizabeth High, which consistently ranks among the best high schools in the state. Osage High's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 62nd to 225th out of Missouri high schools, and the school's ranking has declined in recent years, from 4 stars in 2022-2023 to 2 stars in 2024-2025, indicating a need for improvement.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, January 5, 2012

The academics at this school are lower than other districts in the state. My kids find the school work easy. Honors classes aren't offered till their Junior year. The people are nice enough but there is a lot of gossiping (teachers and students). Sexual acts are discussed openly between the students during lunch and what occurs on my childs bus isn't much better. Close Quote
