Summary

Morgan High School is a 9–12 public high school in rural McConnelsville, Ohio, serving about 499 students as part of the Morgan Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 418th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 47th percentile, or 2 stars — in the middle of the statewide performance distribution and above its own district, which ranked 468th of 773 (39th percentile, 2 stars). The school has climbed far from 2016–2017, when it sat at the 19th percentile with 1 star, though it has slipped since a 2023–2024 peak of 56th percentile and 3 stars.

Compared with eight nearby high schools, Morgan sits behind Fort Frye High School (81st percentile, 4 stars), Waterford High School (62nd percentile) and Warren High School, but generally ahead of Caldwell High School, Philo High School, Miller High School, Crooksville High School and Trimble High School. Its graduation rate is a clear strength: 97.7% in 2025–2026, up from 89.2% and 87.0% in the two prior years and near the top of the local group. Attendance tells the opposite story, with chronic absenteeism at 27.3% — above the nearby average of about 24.2% and well above the district's 21.0%. Academically, the school is strong in American Government (79.5% proficient), American History (82.9%) and Biology (80.0%), all above state averages; English II (65.5%) is above the state but has declined for three straight years. Geometry is the clearest weakness at 22.0% proficient, far below Ohio's 43.3% and below the nearby average of 27.3%, while Algebra I came in at 56.0%.

Morgan also serves some vulnerable student groups unusually well: special education students, low-income students and homeless students all rank in the upper range statewide, earning 3 to 5 stars. Gifted and talented students rank lower, in the 26th–46th percentile, suggesting room to grow at the higher end. Its student/teacher ratio of 11.3 is favorable compared with most nearby schools and per-student spending is near the local average, yet Fort Frye High School gets stronger results with lower spending. The main items to watch are the persistent Geometry weakness and the absenteeism rate.
