Summary:
The 65066 zip code area is home to three schools - Owensville High, Owensville Elementary, and Owensville Middle - all part of the Gasconade County R-II school district. While the high school shows some strengths, the elementary and middle schools face challenges with low test scores and rankings compared to state averages.
Owensville High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.6% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%. However, its statewide ranking has remained in the 200s out of 350-380 Missouri high schools over the past 3 years, with a 2-star rating. In contrast, Owensville Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing in the 600s out of 900 Missouri elementary schools, with proficiency rates well below state averages in core subjects. Owensville Middle School performs better than the elementary school, with a statewide ranking in the 200s out of 438 Missouri middle schools, but its test scores still lag behind state averages.
Across all three schools, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.11% to 52.96%, suggests a need for additional resources and support to address socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning. The district as a whole, Gasconade County R-II, is ranked 260 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts in the state.
