Morgan Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, with 44.55% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 59.9% proficient or better in Math, compared to 40.98% and 45.93% for the district, respectively. The school's performance in Science and Social Studies is also above the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Greenville Elementary, which is also part of the North Harrison Community School Corporation, has even higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates. While Morgan Elementary is a strong-performing school, the higher student-teacher ratio and increasing chronic absenteeism rates may be areas for the school and district to focus on improving.
