Summary

Morgan Middle School is a public middle school serving 772 students in grades 6-8 in the Ellensburg School District.

The school's statewide ranking has shown notable ups and downs over the years, and it experienced a significant decline in the most recent school year, dropping from the 50th to the 36th percentile. This decline was seen across several student groups. While the school's 7th graders perform relatively well in English, 8th-grade math and overall science scores are areas of concern, as they lag behind both the district and state averages. On a positive note, the school has demonstrated recent improvement in outcomes for students in special education.

Compared to the nearby Naches Valley Middle School, Morgan is a larger school and spends less per student. The two schools currently have very similar overall rankings, though they arrived there from different directions: Morgan's rank fell this year while Naches Valley's improved. Morgan's students show slightly higher proficiency in math, while Naches Valley students perform better in science. Both schools, however, have test scores below their respective districts and the state.
