Morgan Elementary

Summary:

Morgan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hutchinson, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 395. It is part of the Hutchinson Public Schools district, which is ranked 251 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Morgan Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and the socioeconomic status of its student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in KAP (Kansas Assessment Program) tests, is generally lower than the state average and the Hutchinson Public Schools district average across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades at Morgan Elementary was 25.35%, compared to 33.55% for the state and 18.69% for the Hutchinson Public Schools district. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics for all grades at Morgan Elementary was 24.17%, compared to 31.6% for the state and 16.7% for the Hutchinson Public Schools district. The school's performance is particularly low in certain subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status, where it ranks in the bottom 25% of Kansas elementary schools.

Despite the low academic performance, Morgan Elementary's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are relatively favorable compared to the state average and the nearby schools, such as Buhler Grade School, Nickerson Elementary, and Union Valley Elementary, which generally perform better academically and have higher rankings than Morgan Elementary and the other Hutchinson schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the low academic outcomes at Morgan Elementary.

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.
