Summary

South Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Stockport, Ohio, serving 277 students as part of the Morgan Local School District. The district overall ranks 468th of 773 Ohio districts (39th percentile, 2 stars), and South Elementary School's own rank is 943rd of 1,560 schools statewide (40th percentile, 2 stars) — right at its district average, but a sharp drop from the prior year, when it ranked in the 65th percentile with 3 stars. The school's strongest stretch in the available history was 2017–2019, when it reached the 71st–74th percentile with 4 stars; the current year is the lowest percentile in that history.

Math is South's relative bright spot, especially in 3rd grade, where 82.1% of students were proficient — well above the district (73.3%) and state (62.1%), and the highest of Morgan Local's three elementary schools. Fourth-grade math (68.8%) is also above district and state, though West Elementary is higher at 80.6%. Fifth-grade math (56.7%) is slightly below both. English language arts is the clearer concern this year: all three tested grades fall below the state average, and 4th and 5th grade are below the district too, with West outperforming South in every ELA grade. Fifth-grade science also dropped sharply, from 78.8% proficient in 2024–2025 to 53.3% in 2025–2026, now below district and state and the lowest among the three Morgan Local elementaries.

Attendance is a strength: South's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.9% is well below the district's 21.0% and better than nearby East Elementary (19.0%), Millcreek Elementary (19.6%), Trimble Elementary (31.4%) and Amesville Elementary (26.4%), though higher than Beverly-Center Elementary (3.7%) and Lowell Elementary (7.0%). Its student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is on the higher side locally, above most nearby schools except Warren Elementary (19.0). South's effectiveness with low-income students remains a highlight — 53rd percentile in 2025–2026, following 85th percentile in 2024–2025.
