Summary:

In zip code 46161, there is one elementary school, Morristown Elementary School, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Shelby Eastern Schools district. Morristown Elementary School has an enrollment of 339 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18.5. The school's spending per student is $10,399, and nearly half of its students, 48.97%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Morristown Elementary School shows a mixed academic performance, with notable inconsistencies across different grades and subjects. In the 2024-2025 academic year, overall English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency was 28.38%, falling below the district average of 40.14%. However, 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at the school was 38.64%, which is higher than the district average of 32.61%. Conversely, 4th-grade ELA proficiency was 21.43%, significantly lower than both district and state averages. Math proficiency also shows variability; while overall math proficiency was 34.46% in 2024-2025, below the district average of 41.51%, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 40.91%, slightly above the district average. A particularly concerning trend is the sharp decline in 4th-grade math proficiency from 60.87% in 2023-2024 to 21.43% in 2024-2025, a significant drop from a strong performance the previous year.

Other key metrics highlight areas for attention. The chronic absenteeism rate at Morristown Elementary School was 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is a concern as high absenteeism can impact learning. While the school's spending per student is robust, and the student-teacher ratio is reasonable, the academic performance in several key areas, particularly the recent declines in 4th-grade math and 3rd-grade ELA, suggests a need for targeted interventions and further investigation into the contributing factors. The school's statewide ranking has remained consistent at 3 stars out of 5, indicating a steady but not exceptional performance within Indiana.
