Summary:
Morris County has one high school in this data set: Council Grove Junior Senior High School, serving grades 7–12. Its latest results are mixed rather than uniformly above or below Kansas: in 2025–2026, math proficiency was 47% compared with 41% statewide, while English language arts (ELA) was 42% versus 46%, and science was 35% versus 38%. The clearest academic strength is math, but ELA and science were below state results.
There is no area-wide top or bottom school to compare because Council Grove is the only school in the list. Within its results, math stands out against Kansas by 6 percentage points, while ELA was 4 points lower and science 3 points lower. Results also vary considerably by grade: math was 28% in grade 7, 57% in grade 8 and 63% in grade 10; grade 7 was 10 points below Kansas, while grade 10 was 26 points above. Graduation is another positive: 96% compared with 90% statewide, a 7-point advantage. SchoolDigger ranks the school 88th of 340 statewide, in the 74th percentile, with 4 stars.
Achievement moved in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 2 percentage points, while math fell 4 points and science fell 6. The school’s math advantage over Kansas narrowed from 12 points to 6, and its science result shifted from roughly level with the state to 3 points below. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking also fell from 86 in 2023–2024 to 70 in 2024–2025, then recovered to 74. The school has 368 students and an 11.7 student-teacher ratio; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 51%. Chronic absenteeism is 17%, below the state’s 18% but 2 points above the Morris County district rate.
