Summary

Morse Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 224 students in grades PK-7 in Morse, Louisiana, which is part of the Acadia Parish school district. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels, with 76% proficiency in ELA and 62% proficiency in Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 70% and 60% for the state, respectively.

Morse Elementary's performance is particularly noteworthy for its male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the top 30-40% of Louisiana elementary schools in those subgroups. The school also maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0-4.5% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. While Morse Elementary has seen some fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18-29% in recent years, these rates are still lower than many of the nearby schools, such as Crowley Kindergarten, South Crowley Elementary, and North Crowley Elementary.

Morse Elementary's strong performance is particularly impressive given its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68-71% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. The school's ability to support these students and maintain high academic achievement is a testament to its effective strategies and dedicated staff. Additionally, the school has seen a steady improvement in its student-teacher ratio, decreasing from 19.4 in 2021-2022 to 16.0 in 2023-2024, which may contribute to its academic success.
