Summary:

Morris County has three schools in this data set for 2025–26: Council Grove Junior Senior High School (grades 7–12), Council Grove Elementary School (PK–6), and Prairie Heights Elementary School (K–6). All three are below the state result in All Grades ELA: their results range from 42% to 44%, compared with 46% statewide. On average, the schools are closer to the state in ELA than in mathematics or science. The most important pattern is that ELA results are tightly clustered, while mathematics and science vary sharply from school to school.

Council Grove Junior Senior High leads All Grades mathematics at 47%, 6 points above the 41% state result; Prairie Heights is lowest at 16%, 25 points below the state. Prairie Heights is the science standout: its 50% result is 12 points above the state’s 38%, while Council Grove Elementary is lowest at 10%, 29 points below. Council Grove Elementary narrowly leads ELA: 44.3%, compared with 44.2% at Prairie Heights. Grade-specific results add important contrasts: Council Grove Junior Senior High reaches 63% in 10th-grade mathematics, 26 points above the state, while Council Grove Elementary has 10% in 5th-grade science and Prairie Heights has 50% in that same grade and subject.

Recent trends favor ELA but not mathematics: the three-school ELA average rose from 40% to 43% between the two supplied years, narrowing its gap with the state from 4 points to 3; the mathematics average fell from 35% to 32%, and its gap widened from 3 points to 9. Among schools with science results in both years, the average fell by 17 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ratings are four stars for Council Grove Junior Senior High, one for Council Grove Elementary, and two for Prairie Heights; its percentiles are 74th, 26th, and 32nd, respectively. Prairie Heights is also the smallest school, with 76 students, an 8.4 student-teacher ratio, and a 62% free/reduced-lunch rate; the two Council Grove schools have 11.7 ratios and lunch rates of 51% and 55%. These figures describe different school profiles, not causes of test results.
