Summary:

The city of Morton, Washington, is served by two public schools within the Morton School District: Morton Junior-Senior High (grades 7-12) and Morton Elementary School (grades PK-4), both of which are relatively small and have shown notable strengths in science instruction.

Comparing the two schools, Morton Junior-Senior High stands out for its strong and improving performance, particularly in science where it significantly exceeds state averages, and for its above-average 89% graduation rate. The elementary school, while showing strength in science as well, has more mixed academic results in English and math and has maintained a consistent but lower state ranking over recent years. Both schools operate with favorable student-to-teacher ratios and substantial per-student funding.

For parents, key takeaways include the district's clear strength in science education at both levels and the high school's successful graduation outcomes. Areas for growth are evident in mathematics, especially in upper grades, and in English Language Arts. The performance history shows the high school's ranking has been variable, while the elementary school's has been more stable. The district serves a community with significant economic need, making its successes in science and graduation particularly commendable.
