Summary:
The 62546 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Morrisonville CUSD 1 district. While the schools share a common district, they exhibit stark differences in academic performance, with Morrisonville Junior High School standing out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, but struggling with math.
In contrast, Morrisonville High School has a relatively high graduation rate, but lags behind in college readiness assessments, with only 31.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 17.6% in Math on the ACT. The district-wide challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles observed across the schools.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Morrisonville Junior High School spending the most per student at $18,215, potentially contributing to its stronger ELA performance. However, further investigation is needed to understand the complex relationship between funding, instructional practices, and student outcomes across the district.
