Summary

CORE School at Morningside Elementary is a public elementary school in Great Falls, Montana, serving 297 students in grades K-6 as part of the Great Falls Elementary School District.

While CORE School at Morningside Elementary has lower academic proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, it performs better than some nearby schools like Sunnyside School, Longfellow School, and Whittier School. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, such as Lincoln School, Mountain View School, Lewis & Clark School, Giant Springs Elementary, Loy School, and Chief Joseph School. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

This proximity to a specialized school may present unique challenges or opportunities for the school and its students.
