Elementary Schools in Morgan County

The elementary schools in Morgan County, Kentucky, serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This rural county is home to four elementary schools: Wrigley Elementary School, Morgan Central Elementary School, Ezel Elementary School, and East Valley Elementary School.

Ezel Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Kentucky, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and performing well above the state average in academic subjects. East Valley Elementary School has also seen remarkable improvement, jumping from 391st to 48th in the state rankings and earning a 5-star rating, particularly excelling in reading and science.

While the schools in Morgan County generally perform better than the state average, they face challenges common to many rural and economically disadvantaged areas, such as lower mathematics proficiency rates and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios and above-average spending per student suggest a commitment to providing resources and support for student learning.
