Morrison CUSD 6

Morrison CUSD 6 serves 973 students in four schools, from prekindergarten through grade 12: Northside School (PK–2), Southside School (grades 3–5), Morrison Junior High School (grades 6–8), and Morrison High School (grades 9–12). The clearest concern in the latest reported results is Southside: its 2025–2026 all-grades IAR scores were 17 percentage points below the state in ELA and 5 points below in math.

Morrison Junior High School stands out for ELA, with 69% proficient compared with 56% statewide, a 13-point advantage; its math result was just under the state result. Southside School had the weakest current IAR results: 39% in ELA and 35% in math, versus state results of 56% and 40%. Morrison High School’s 11th-grade ACT results were above the state in all three subjects, by 12 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 10 in science. However, its 10th-grade PreACT results were below state results in all three subjects, by 12 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 17 in science.

Results moved in opposite directions at the two schools with IAR scores: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Southside fell 9 points in ELA and 17 in math, while the junior high rose 24 points in ELA and 3 in math. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking was at the 29th percentile for Southside, down from the 66th percentile two years earlier; the high school and junior high were at the 59th and 57th percentiles, respectively, and each received three stars, compared with Southside’s one star. School sizes and student-teacher ratios vary: enrollment is 200–294, and ratios range from 13.3 at the high school to 16.0 at Northside. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rates ranged from 34% at the high school to 45% at Northside. Northside has no reported test scores in these data.
