Summary

Morgan County Middle is a public middle school in Versailles, Missouri, serving 294 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Morgan County R-II School District, which is ranked 208 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

While Morgan County Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces several key challenges. It has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 18.2% to 23.1% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests are below the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates range from 23.2% to 35.8% across grades, compared to the state averages of 39.3% to 42.2%. The school's performance for White students and students with disabilities is notably lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby Tipton Middle School and Eldon Middle School generally outperform Morgan County Middle in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Despite an increase in spending per student at Morgan County Middle, from $9,749 in 2018-2019 to $12,949 in 2021-2022, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's performance challenges.
