Summary:
The Morris School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Morristown High School, which serves a diverse student population of 1,868 students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in Algebra II but struggles in Algebra I. Morristown High School's four-year graduation rate of 90.2% is higher than the state average, but its dropout rate of 2.6% and chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2% are areas of concern.
Morristown High School's student body is 43.09% White, 44.06% Hispanic, and 7.49% African American, with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students (25.32% free and reduced-price lunch rate). The school's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) varies, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.2%) and Science (36.1%) closer to the district and state averages, but much lower in Algebra I (0% to 8.4%) compared to the district and state.
While Morristown High School has some areas of strength, such as its performance in Algebra II, the school's overall academic performance, attendance challenges, and demographic diversity present opportunities for further analysis and targeted interventions to support student success and ensure equitable outcomes for all learners in the Morris School District.
