Summary

Morton Junior-Senior High is a small public school serving grades 7–12 and about 205 students in the rural community of Morton, Washington, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. The school is part of the Morton School District, which ranks 74th out of 238 Washington districts, placing it around the 69th percentile statewide. That district standing is considerably stronger than White Pass School District and Mossyrock School District, which rank near the 30th percentile.

Academically, the school is performing better than its nearby traditional-school comparisons in the available data. Its current ranking is 184th of 396 Washington schools, or the 54th percentile, while Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School ranks at the 32nd percentile and White Pass Junior Senior High School ranked at the 29th percentile in 2024–2025. Morton’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 54.55% in English language arts and 56.67% in science, both slightly above state averages and well ahead of the nearby schools. Science is a particular strength, especially in 11th grade, where 61.29% of students were proficient.

Mathematics is the clearest area for improvement: 31.82% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 43.11% statewide, and 10th-grade proficiency was just 25%. Still, Morton’s 89.0% graduation rate was above the state’s 82.6% and White Pass’s 84.0%; the 91.0% Mossyrock figure was reported for the district rather than the school. The school also appears to serve economically disadvantaged students relatively effectively, with that subgroup ranking at the 72nd percentile most recently. Families should note that performance has improved substantially since the mid-2010s but has fluctuated, while the student-teacher ratio rose to 17.6:1 in 2024–2025.
