Summary:
The Morton School District is a small, rural district in Washington with two schools—Morton Elementary School (grades PK-4) and Morton Junior-Senior High (grades 7-12)—serving about 399 students total.
Comparing the two schools, Morton Junior-Senior High stands out for its strong science scores, with 11th graders significantly outperforming the state average, and a graduation rate well above the state's. It has shown notable improvement in its statewide ranking. While Morton Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, it has maintained a consistent, lower performance ranking compared to the high school's recent upward trend.
For the district overall, science is a clear strength, but math scores, particularly in the higher grades, are an area for growth. Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, making the district's above-average graduation rate and science performance commendable achievements worth highlighting.
