Summary:
Morrill Public Schools is a small school district in Nebraska that serves the town of Morrill and the surrounding area. The district has only one high school, Morrill High School, which serves grades 9-12. With an enrollment of 152 students, Morrill High School has a predominantly White student population (71.05%) and a significant Hispanic population (27.63%).
Academically, Morrill High School's performance is mixed compared to the state average. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency on the ACT and NSCAS exams is above the state average, its Mathematics and Science proficiency lags behind. Additionally, a high percentage (67.76%) of Morrill High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite the academic challenges, the school spends significantly more per student ($22,758) than the state average, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.4, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, Morrill Public Schools and its sole high school, Morrill High School, face some challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio. The school's demographics, with a majority White student population and a significant percentage of low-income students, may be contributing factors to the academic performance. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and potential strategies for improvement.
