Summary:
The Morgan County R-II school district in Missouri is home to two elementary schools: Morgan County Elementary and Little Tigers Learning Center. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of a district that is ranked 208 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the two schools appear to be performing at a similar level, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3-5 generally below the state averages. However, there are some exceptions, such as Morgan County Elementary's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate being slightly above the state average. Both schools serve a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-poverty student population.
In terms of resource allocation, Morgan County Elementary spends $12,580 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.3. Little Tigers Learning Center has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 10.1. While the district is investing resources in its schools, the academic performance of the schools does not appear to be commensurate with the level of funding, suggesting a need for the district to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to improve the return on investment.
