Morgan High School

Summary:

Morgan High School is a public high school located in McConnelsville, Ohio, serving 519 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Trimble Local school district, which is ranked 443 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Morgan High School has a predominantly white student population, with 88.63% of students identifying as white. Academically, the school performs well in subjects like American Government (79.4% proficiency), American History (78%), and Biology (72.4%), but struggles in mathematics, with only 17% proficiency in Geometry and 51.2% in Algebra I. The school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.8% to 90.5%, which is above the state average. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.4% to 38.6% in recent years, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

Nearby virtual schools, such as Trimble Learning Academy and BlueSky Virtual Academy, have significantly smaller student populations, making meaningful comparisons difficult. The existence of these alternative options, however, suggests a potential need for diverse educational opportunities in the region. Additionally, Morgan High School's varying performance across different student subgroups, with strong results for special education and low socioeconomic status students but struggles with gifted and talented students, highlights the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.

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.
