Georgia F. Morris Elementary

Summary:

Georgia F. Morris Elementary is a public elementary school in Colton, CA, serving 617 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Rialto Unified School District, which is ranked 1115 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Georgia F. Morris Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 25% of California elementary schools in 2017-2018 to the middle 50% in 2023-2024. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is generally higher than the Rialto Unified district average, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 42.06% of Georgia F. Morris students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.85% for the district. The school also stands out for its strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank significantly higher than their peers at the state level. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 15.6% in 2018-2019 to 27.5% in 2022-2023, is a concerning trend that may be impacting academic outcomes.

When compared to other schools in the area, Georgia F. Morris Elementary generally outperforms the other Rialto Unified schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Dr. Ernest Garcia Elementary and J. Calvin Boyd Elementary, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Colton Joint Unified School District, such as Ruth Grimes Elementary, Georgia F. Morris lags behind in overall student performance, particularly in Mathematics.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
