Summary:
The city of Morganza, Maryland is home to a single high school, Chopticon High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the data set is limited to this one institution, it provides a comprehensive look at the school's performance, demographics, and other key metrics.
Chopticon High School has seen fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking, improving from 102nd out of 127 Maryland high schools in 2022-2023 to 48th out of 220 in 2024-2025. The school's strengths lie in its English Language Arts proficiency, with 72.8% of students performing at or above grade level in 2024-2025. However, its math performance has been relatively low, with only 19.6% of students proficient or better in the same year. The school's four-year graduation rate of 90.8% is higher than the state average, but its dropout rate of 6.4% and chronic absenteeism rate of 28.1% are areas of concern.
Demographically, Chopticon High School has a student population of 1,621 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.8, slightly higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending of $17,056 is also higher than the state average, suggesting that additional resources are being allocated to support the students. However, the school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 32.45% indicates that a significant portion of the student body comes from low-income families, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
