Morgan Mill Independent School District (Isd)

The Morgan Mill Independent School District (Isd) is a single-school district in Texas serving 127 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade at Morgan Mill Elementary, a small rural school that has seen a concerning decline in its state ranking from the 40th percentile to a projected 5th percentile over three years.

At Morgan Mill Elementary, the data reveals a school of stark contrasts. While the school boasts an excellent student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1 and moderate per-student spending of $10,933, its academic performance is highly uneven. The school shows a "late bloomer" pattern where early grades struggle significantly—3rd grade reading and math proficiency are both just 11.11%, far below state averages—but older students perform much better, with 8th grade reading at 50% and 7th grade math at 50%. The school's strongest results come from End-of-Course exams, with 80% proficiency in Biology and 66.67% in English I Reading, both outperforming state averages, likely due to advanced 8th graders taking high school-level courses.

The most critical takeaway for parents is the alarming 3rd grade performance, which serves as an early warning sign that this cohort is significantly behind peers statewide. The school's small size creates high volatility in year-over-year scores, making it hard to assess true effectiveness without tracking individual student cohorts over time. Despite favorable resources, the district ranks in the bottom 16th percentile of Texas districts, suggesting the challenges may stem from instructional strategies or specific student population needs rather than resource limitations. The 0% dropout rate is a positive indicator, but the declining ranking trend demands attention from families considering this school.
