Summary:
The 65084 zip code in Morgan County, Missouri is home to a single middle school, Morgan County Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While this school is the only option for middle schoolers in the area, its performance metrics suggest room for improvement in several key areas.
Academically, Morgan County Middle School lags behind state averages in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency across multiple grade levels. For instance, 8th grade math proficiency is just 22.3%, compared to the Missouri average of 32.7%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, at 21.2% - well above the state norm. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as over 56% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, the school does have some strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1 and per-student spending of $12,949. By addressing attendance issues and implementing targeted interventions to boost academic performance, the Morgan County R-II district could help improve outcomes for middle school students in this community.
