Summary:
The Ellensburg School District has one middle school, Morgan Middle School, serving about 770 students in grades 6 through 8.
Morgan Middle School shows mixed academic results, with its 6th grade math scores slightly above average and 7th grade English being a relative strength. However, the school's overall performance in English, math, and science lags behind Washington state averages. A notable concern is science proficiency, where the school's scores are significantly lower than the district's average, suggesting a specific area for focus. The school also sees a drop in math scores in 8th grade compared to 7th grade.
Despite having adequate resources, including per-student spending above the state average, the school's state ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently placing it in the lower middle tier of Washington middle schools. For parents, this indicates that while the school provides a stable environment, there are consistent academic challenges across subjects that the district is working to address, particularly in science and upper-grade math.
