Summary:
The Morristown Elementary District in Arizona is home to a single elementary school, Morristown Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance and demographics suggest it faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Morristown Elementary School has a student population of 147, with a majority of students (64.63%) identifying as White and a significant percentage (29.93%) identifying as Hispanic. The school has a high rate of students (71.43%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 17% to 50% in ELA and 18% to 56% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37% to 45% in ELA and 27% to 43% in Mathematics.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 266 out of 1,000 schools in 2021-2022 (4 out of 5 stars) to 521 out of 1,245 schools in 2022-2023 (3 out of 5 stars). This inconsistency in performance may be due to various factors, such as changes in student population, teaching staff, or school leadership. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.7, the academic challenges suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its students, particularly those from low-income families.
