Summary:
The Morgan County school district in Tennessee comprises 8 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 3 alternative schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.
Among the standout schools, Coalfield School and Sunbright School, both alternative schools, have higher graduation rates (89.2%) and lower dropout rates (6.7%) compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Petros Joyner Elementary has relatively strong performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in several subjects and grade levels. Central Middle School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio (19.6) among the schools in the data set.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 18.9% to 18.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Spending per student varies widely, from $13,191 at Central Middle School to $17,310 at Petros Joyner Elementary. The disparities in academic performance between the schools suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to these differences, and the district may need to implement targeted interventions to support all students in the county.
