Summary:

The city of Morrison, Illinois, has a single middle school, Morrison Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 437 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools in 2023-2024 to 639 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025.

Morrison Junior High School's academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (44.9%) and Mathematics (36.2%) for 2024-2025 were below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively, the school's 8th grade proficiency rates in ELA (50.7%) and Math (28.4%) were closer to or above the state averages. However, the school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade in 2024-2025 was 35.3%, which is lower than the state average of 45.4%. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.72% in 2023-2024) suggests that it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.8 is slightly lower than the state average, and its spending per student for the 2023-2024 school year was $12,273. However, the school faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which could be impacting its overall academic outcomes. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these areas of concern and improve the school's performance.
