Summary:
The 13664 zip code is home to a single public school, Morristown Central School, which serves grades PK-12 with 329 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1, it faces some notable challenges, including inconsistent academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Morristown Central School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. The school's performance on state assessments varies, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average and others performing significantly below. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, the school scored 40% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 42.6%, while in 4th grade ELA, the school scored 22.73% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 47.05%.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% and the fact that 63.83% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch suggest that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio indicates the potential for more individualized attention, addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students may be crucial for improving the school's overall academic performance and student outcomes.
