Summary

Morrison Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the rural town of Morrison, Tennessee. With 361 students enrolled, the school is part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 111 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Morrison Elementary struggles, with test scores consistently below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 31.4% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 31.1% for the Warren County district and 42.2% for the state.
