Morris High School

Summary:

Morris High School is a public high school serving 277 students in grades 9-12 in Morris, Oklahoma, which is part of the Morris District. The school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 11th out of 197 Oklahoma high schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 241st out of 307 schools in 2020-2021. In the most recent year, Morris High School is ranked 224th out of 431 high schools and has a 2-star rating.

While the school has maintained relatively stable four-year graduation rates, ranging from 79.7% to 86.8%, its academic performance has seen a decline. In 2023-2024, only 31% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 11.3% were proficient or better in Mathematics. This is a significant drop from the previous year. The school's performance has been quite volatile, with significant changes in its statewide ranking and academic proficiency rates from year to year. Compared to nearby high schools, Morris High School generally performs better than most, but Preston High School consistently outperforms it in academic metrics and has a higher statewide ranking.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Morris High School, up to 80.69%, suggests that the school serves a relatively low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Additionally, the differences in performance between male and female students, as well as between White and Native American students, indicate that the school may need to address equity and inclusion issues to ensure all students have equal opportunities for success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
