Summary:
Morgan, Minnesota, has one school in this data set: Cedar Mountain Middle/High School, a grades 6–12 school classified as a high school within Cedar Mountain School District, with 219 students and no separate elementary, middle, or alternative schools listed for the city. Because it is the only local school, city-level comparisons are effectively comparisons to this school, so the most useful context comes from its district and Minnesota state averages.
Its strongest outcomes are graduation and dropout rates. For 2024–2025, the graduation rate is 91.1%, matching the district and exceeding the state’s 84.9% by 6.2 percentage points; the dropout rate is 2.2%, also matching the district and less than half the state’s 4.2%. Academic proficiency also improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: all-grades reading rose from 30.39% to 43.3%, science from 5.66% to 17.6%, and math from 26.72% to 31.6%. The school’s state rank improved from 387 of 450 (14th percentile, 1 star) to 322 of 473 (32nd percentile, 2 stars). Grade-level bright spots include 7th-grade reading at 43.5%, exactly matching the state, and 6th-grade math at 39.1%, only 0.4 points below the state.
Challenges remain. All-grades proficiency is still below state averages: math 31.6% vs. 44.9%, reading 43.3% vs. 48.6%, and science 17.6% vs. 25.5%. Science is the weakest subject, especially 8th-grade science at 7.1% vs. 16.7% statewide. High-school-level gaps are large: 11th-grade math is 12% vs. 35.3% statewide, and 10th-grade reading is 30.4% vs. 42.5%. The district ranks 252 of 458 (45th percentile, 2 stars). With 45.21% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and a 14.1 student-teacher ratio, the school is showing improvement but still has meaningful ground to gain, particularly in science and upper-grade math and reading.
