Summary

Morgan Mill Elementary is a small, rural PK-8 school in Stephenville, TX, serving 127 students within the Morgan Mill Independent School District (Isd). While the school historically performed in the middle of the pack, recent data shows a dramatic and concerning decline, dropping from the 67th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the bottom 5th percentile in 2025-2026. This rapid fall is the school's most defining feature, especially when compared to nearby rural schools like Santo Elementary and Lipan Elementary, which are performing in the 80th percentile or higher.

A key issue is a massive performance gap between male and female students. In the most recent year, the school ranked in the 61st percentile for male students (a solid 3-star rating) but in the 0th percentile for female students. This 61-point gap suggests the learning environment may be failing to meet the needs of girls, while being relatively effective for boys. Across nearly every grade and subject, Morgan Mill's test scores are the lowest in the region. For example, only 11% of 3rd graders met reading standards, compared to 73% at Santo Elementary. This is not a single-grade problem but a school-wide challenge.

Despite having the smallest class sizes (a 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio) and spending more per student ($10,933) than many high-performing peers, the academic results are the worst. This points to an efficiency problem. A stark comparison is Three Way Pk-6, another small rural school 18 miles away. Three Way achieves better results with larger classes and a much higher poverty rate, reinforcing that Morgan Mill's struggles likely stem from internal instructional or leadership challenges. There are a few bright spots in middle school subjects like 7th Grade Math and Biology, suggesting that students who make it through the elementary years may find more success later on.
