Summary:
The 63769 zip code area is home to two schools - Oak Ridge High School and Oak Ridge Elementary School, both of which are part of the Oak Ridge R-VI district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and declining performance over time.
Oak Ridge High School is ranked 291 out of 378 Missouri high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Oak Ridge Elementary School is ranked 826 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools and has a 0-star rating. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the state averages. For example, in 8th grade Math, Oak Ridge High School has a 25.1% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 32.7%, and in 5th grade Math, Oak Ridge Elementary School has a 13.2% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 38.2%.
The data also reveals that both schools have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the schools have smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios lower than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the schools in the 63769 zip code area, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the challenges faced by these institutions.
