Summary:
Morton School District is a small district in the Morton area with two listed schools serving 399 students: Morton Elementary School for PK–4 and Morton Junior-Senior High for grades 7–12. No separate middle school is listed, so the supplied data does not show where grades 5–6 are served. The district ranks 74th out of 238 Washington districts, placing it around the 69th percentile, and both schools have current 3-star ratings.
Morton Elementary School is the district’s strongest recent academic success story. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 44.83% to 58.49%, while math increased from 37.93% to 49.06%. The latest results were above district averages in both subjects, especially math, where the school exceeded the district by about 15.6 percentage points. Third-grade ELA was a particular strength at 65.38%. The school’s ranking also improved substantially, moving from the 33rd to the 63rd percentile over the three years shown. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.7, lower than the high school’s 17.6.
Morton Junior-Senior High offers a different profile: its 89% graduation rate matches the district rate and exceeds the statewide 82.6%, while science proficiency was 56.67%, above both the district and state. ELA was also slightly above state and district averages overall, with especially strong eighth-grade performance. The main concern is math: proficiency fell from 41.11% to 31.82%, with tenth-grade math at just 25%. Tenth-grade ELA also trailed the state. For families comparing the schools, elementary academics show stronger recent momentum, while the high school’s key strengths are graduation and science; secondary math deserves the closest attention.
