ROSCOE C-1

Located at 1515 SW 300 Road in Osceola, Missouri, the Roscoe C-1 school district provides an intimate, traditional public education rooted in its local community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district set within a remote rural landscape, Roscoe C-1 focuses on early childhood and primary education, serving students from prekindergarten through eighth grade. Operating out of a single centralized school facility, the district delivers a continuous academic pathway tailored to elementary and middle school learners before they transition to high school programs in neighboring areas.

With a total enrollment of just 41 students across all grade levels, Roscoe C-1 offers an exceptionally personalized academic environment. The student body—comprising 20 female and 21 male students—benefits from a robust team of educators and support personnel, including 13 full-time equivalent teachers, dedicated instructional aides, and essential support staff that bring total district personnel to nearly 18 full-time positions. This unique staffing dynamic yields an extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing educators to provide highly individualized instruction, foster strong mentorship, and maintain a close-knit learning community that serves as a compelling model for researchers studying small-scale rural education.
