Morgan County RISE Academy

Summary:

Morgan County RISE Academy is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in West Liberty, Kentucky, with an enrollment of around 100 students. While the school is part of the Morgan County School District, which is ranked 44th out of 159 districts in the state, Morgan County RISE Academy itself is significantly underperforming compared to state and district averages.

According to the latest data, Morgan County RISE Academy ranked 232nd out of 290 Kentucky high schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This places the school in the bottom 20% of high schools in the state, with its female, white, and low-socioeconomic status students all performing well below the state average. However, the school's 100% four-year graduation rate is a bright spot, suggesting it is effective in supporting students to complete their high school education, even if they are struggling academically.

Compared to other nearby schools, such as Morgan County High School, Magoffin County High School, and Wolfe County High School, Morgan County RISE Academy's performance is significantly lower across various academic metrics, including test scores and proficiency levels. The school's small size, high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, and proximity to the larger Morgan County High School may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, which will require targeted interventions and support to address.

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.
