Summary

Morrilton Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the South Conway County School District, with 719 students located in Morrilton, Arkansas. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 77th to 146th out of Arkansas high schools, and it currently holds a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Morrilton Senior High School faces some unique challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools. However, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.1 to 9.4 over the past few years, much lower than the nearby schools. Academically, Morrilton's test scores in core subjects are generally below the state and district averages, with some exceptions, such as a 30.8% proficiency rate in 9th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 31.1%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Greenbrier High School, Nemo Vista High School, and Pottsville High School, generally outperform Morrilton Senior High School on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects. These schools also have lower free and reduced-price lunch rates, indicating a more affluent student population. To improve student outcomes, Morrilton Senior High School may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of its student population, while also learning from the successful practices of the higher-performing nearby schools.
