Summary:

In zip code 46161, there is one high school, Morristown Junior-Senior High School, serving grades 6-12. This public school is part of the Shelby Eastern Schools district.

Morristown Junior-Senior High School demonstrates a strong four-year graduation rate of 88.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also shows particular strengths in 6th-grade ILEARN/Math, with a proficiency rate of 69.81% in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming both district and state averages.

However, there are areas for improvement. The chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024 is a concern, potentially impacting overall academic performance. While the school generally performs well in English Language Arts and Math for younger grades, there was a dip in proficiency in 8th-grade English Language Arts and Math between the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 academic years, falling below district and state averages in the latter year for 8th-grade ELA. The SAT Mathematics proficiency rate for 11th graders also lags behind district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 70th in 2020-2021 to a 3-star rating in the most recent years, suggesting a need to re-evaluate academic strategies.
