Summary:
The Morgan County R-I Elementary is the sole elementary school in the Morgan County R-I school district, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 436 students. The school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Missouri elementary schools over the past few years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades are generally lower than the state averages. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is 34.6% compared to the state average of 41.4%, and in 4th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate is 49.1% compared to the state average of 44.8%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7% and an extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 99.77%.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $10,634 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, the academic performance has not yet reflected substantial improvements. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and attendance issues may be crucial for the school to achieve better outcomes and provide a more supportive learning environment for its students.
