Summary

Morris Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fort Riley, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 350. As part of the Geary County Schools district, Morris Hill Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools in terms of academic performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in several recent school years.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Morris Hill Elementary's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 60.13%, compared to 44.59% for the Geary County Schools district and 44.47% for the state of Kansas. Additionally, the school ranks 13th out of 262 Kansas elementary schools for Hispanic students and 23rd out of 533 schools for low-SES students, both with 5-star ratings, indicating its effectiveness in supporting the academic achievement of these traditionally underserved populations.

While Morris Hill Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, the school's per-student spending of $10,095 in the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. When compared to other elementary schools in the Geary County Schools district and the nearby Manhattan-Ogden district, Morris Hill Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, with its ELA proficiency rate for all grades in the 2024-2025 school year being 60.13%, compared to the next highest-performing school, Sheridan Elementary, at 61.31%.
