Summary

Mark Morris High School is a public high school serving 912 students in grades 9-12 within the Longview School District, which ranks in the lower third of districts statewide.

The school presents a complex picture: it graduates students at a very high rate (92.7%), consistently outperforming the state average, yet its academic proficiency, especially in math (21%), has declined sharply and is well below state and district averages. This disconnect between graduation success and core academic skills is a notable finding. Furthermore, the school's overall state ranking has fallen significantly over the past decade, from the 89th to the 30th percentile. Comparisons show that while R A Long High School in the same district has higher English proficiency, both schools share severe challenges in mathematics, indicating a potential district-wide issue. In contrast, Kalama High School in a neighboring district outperforms Mark Morris in both subjects.

Performance gaps exist among different student groups, with male, Hispanic, and low-income students ranking particularly low compared to their peers across Washington. Despite these challenges, the school spends a mid-range amount per student ($17,220) and maintains a relative strength in science proficiency compared to nearby schools like Castle Rock High School and Kelso High School. The analysis suggests Mark Morris effectively keeps most students enrolled and on track to graduate, unlike some alternative programs in the area that struggle with very high dropout rates.
