Summary:
The Morton School District in Washington contains one high school, Morton Junior-Senior High, which serves grades 7 through 12 with an enrollment of about 205 students.
Morton Junior-Senior High shows notable strengths, particularly in science where 11th graders significantly outperform the state average, and it maintains a solid 89% graduation rate. The school has improved its state ranking to 173 out of 438 high schools, earning a 3-star rating for the current year. However, its ranking has been volatile over recent years, and while math performance is strong in 7th grade, it drops considerably by 10th grade, indicating a challenge in maintaining proficiency as students advance.
With over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's overall performance in key areas is commendable given the economic context. Parents should note the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and its effectiveness in graduating students and teaching science, but also be aware of the inconsistent year-to-year rankings and the specific need for support in upper-level math courses to ensure student success across all grades.
