Summary:
The city of Morven, North Carolina has only one school, Morven Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Morven Elementary is part of the Anson County Schools district, which is ranked 168 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Morven Elementary has a predominantly African American student population (76.77%), with a significant Hispanic population (16.13%) and small percentages of other racial groups. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, the school's highest mathematics proficiency rate is 50% for 6th-grade students, compared to the state average of 54.3%. Similarly, the school's highest reading proficiency rate is 45.8% for 6th-grade students, compared to the state average of 49.5%.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($13,556, which is higher than the national average), and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, Morven Elementary serves a population with a very high level of economic disadvantage, with 98.06% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and there is an opportunity for the school and district to identify and address the root causes of the low academic outcomes through targeted interventions and support.
