Summary:
The Morgan County R-I school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Morgan County R-I High and Morgan County R-I Elementary. The district as a whole is ranked 198 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the high school has an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, both schools face significant challenges. The elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, and both schools perform below the state average on standardized tests. However, the high school did exceed the state average in Algebra I proficiency. Notably, both schools have extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, over 99%, indicating significant economic need in the student population.
Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with both schools reporting rates of 16.7%. The district spends between $10,162 and $10,634 per student, with student-teacher ratios of 15.2 and 12.9. While the high school's performance has fluctuated in the state rankings, the overall picture suggests that the schools in the Morgan County R-I district face substantial challenges and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
