Summary

Mike Morris Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 286 students in the rural South Bend School District, which ranks in the middle of Washington state districts.

The school serves a community with significant economic need and, while its overall test scores in English and math are below the state average, it shows important strengths. It performs relatively well for students from low-income families compared to similar schools statewide, and science is a particular bright spot, with scores closer to the state average. However, performance varies dramatically between grade levels, with some grades doing quite well and others needing significant support. The school invests more money per student—nearly $22,000—than any of the nearby comparison schools, including Willapa Elementary, Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary, and Ocean Park Elementary.

When looking at nearby schools, Willapa Elementary (in the Willapa Valley School District) presents a notable contrast, achieving higher test scores across all subjects with a less economically disadvantaged population and lower per-student spending. Despite this comparison, Mike Morris has been on a clear upward trend over the past several years, improving its statewide ranking from historically low levels. The school's journey highlights both the challenges of serving a high-needs community and the potential for continued growth, especially by building on its relative success in science and with specific student groups.
