Summary

Morristown Junior-Senior High School is a public school in Morristown, Indiana, serving 333 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of Shelby Eastern Schools. It is a combined junior-senior high, unlike most nearby schools that serve only grades 9–12, which means it reports both middle-school ILEARN results and high-school SAT, Biology, and graduation data. In 2025–2026 it ranked 111th of 415 Indiana schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars) — well above its district, which sits at the 50th percentile, making the school a positive outlier locally.

SAT is the clearest strength: 63.04% of students were proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (state: 51.9%) and 32.61% in math (state: 25.6%). Only New Palestine High School tops Morristown in SAT ELA, and Triton Central High School is essentially tied in math. Attendance is excellent — 8.9% chronic absenteeism versus the state's 16.7%, the lowest among nearby schools, including Greenfield-Central High School (16.5%) and Shelbyville Senior High School (19.0%). Middle-school math in grades 6 and 7 is also strong, at 60.47% and 51.79% proficient. Subgroup results improved broadly, with low-income students ranking at the 71st percentile. The student-teacher ratio is 12.8, among the lowest nearby, with per-student spending of $12,769.

Watch items: the 2024–2025 graduation rate fell to 87.8% after 100% the prior year — possibly cohort-related, but worth monitoring. Biology End-of-Course proficiency (34.62%) is mid-pack, above the district's 28.42% but below New Palestine High School, Greenfield-Central High School, Eastern Hancock High School, and Triton Central High School. Middle-school English Language Arts is weaker than math, especially in grades 7 and 8, and all-grade ILEARN ELA and science declined from 2024–2025 even as SAT scores rose sharply. Male students continue to outrank female students in subgroup ranking, though the gap narrowed.

Great little school. It's strength is in it's smallness. Rich curriculum for a small school. The staff knows our kids and thinks through how to reach them and actualize them to their potential. It's a safe place for my kids to attend. Strong administration and strong teaching. Strong extra- & co-curricular programs. Keep up the great work Morristown Jr/Sr High School! Close Quote
