While Morgan County Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.05%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 22.5% to 31.2%, compared to the state averages of 39.1% to 43.8%. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 39.8% to 49.5%, compared to the state averages of 42.4% to 45.9%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, Morgan County Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 452 and 829 out of over 1,000 schools, indicating that it is performing below average compared to other schools in Missouri.

Interestingly, some of the nearby schools, such as Cole Camp Elementary and Eldon Upper Elementary, have higher academic achievement and better statewide rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Morgan County Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as low-socioeconomic status students and gifted and talented students, is more mixed, with the school ranking relatively high for these populations, indicating that it may be effectively serving these students despite its overall lower performance.

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.
