GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I mean I got an education. I was super glad to graduate and never have to interact with this school again.

I have had a overall decent experience in the school. Tons of bullying and a lot of student deaths. The teachers are fine. I would like to see the food change.

I've been in the Fort Osage School district since Kindergarten. I have participated in the Choirs, Bands, Marching Band and many other activities throughout the years. It is a great school with good leadership and parent involvement in a rural area.
