Summary:
The city of Morrison, Oklahoma is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Morrison Elementary School, Morrison High School, and Morrison Middle School. While Morrison schools serve a diverse student population with a significant percentage of low-income families, the data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the elementary school and the secondary schools.
Morrison Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 11th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating. The school's test scores far exceed state averages, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English and math. In contrast, Morrison High School and Morrison Middle School lag behind, with rankings in the bottom half of Oklahoma schools and test scores below state averages.
The data suggests that while Morrison schools face challenges common to many low-income districts, the elementary school is providing a high-quality education that sets its students up for success. However, the weaker performance at the secondary level raises concerns and indicates a need for further investigation to understand the drivers of these differences and identify opportunities for improvement across the district.
