Morgan County RISE Academy

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Morgan County RISE Academy is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in West Liberty, Kentucky, with an enrollment of around 100 students. While the school is part of the Morgan County School District, which is ranked 44th out of 159 districts in the state, Morgan County RISE Academy itself is significantly underperforming compared to state and district averages.

According to the latest data, Morgan County RISE Academy ranked 232nd out of 290 Kentucky high schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This places the school in the bottom 20% of high schools in the state, with its female, white, and low-socioeconomic status students all performing well below the state average. However, the school's 100% four-year graduation rate is a bright spot, suggesting it is effective in supporting students to complete their high school education, even if they are struggling academically.

Compared to other nearby schools, such as Morgan County High School, Magoffin County High School, and Wolfe County High School, Morgan County RISE Academy's performance is significantly lower across various academic metrics, including test scores and proficiency levels. The school's small size, high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, and proximity to the larger Morgan County High School may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, which will require targeted interventions and support to address.
