Summary:
The 64058 zip code is home to a single high school, Fort Osage High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 1,557 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra I and Government.
Fort Osage High School's proficiency rates on Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) end-of-course exams range from 22% in Algebra I to 52.8% in English II, with the school's performance trailing the Fort Osage R-I district and state averages in most subject areas. The school's free and reduced lunch rate of 39.18% suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite adequate per-student funding of $11,928, Fort Osage High has consistently been ranked between 200-216 out of 352-361 Missouri high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Fort Osage High School's diverse student population could be an asset, the data indicates the school may need to implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and close the performance gaps with the district and state. The administration and district should closely examine the school's resource allocation and instructional practices to identify areas for improvement and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
