Original Research by School Decision on Morrison Es
Morrison ES serves students from preschool through sixth grade in the small agricultural town of Morrison, Oklahoma, which lies along U.S. Highway 64 in southeastern Noble County. The town itself is a largely residential community for families working in agriculture, local businesses, or commuting to jobs in nearby cities, with a population that has remained relatively stable in recent decades. Civic life centers on the school, the Morrison Arboretum and Botanic Garden, a Veterans Memorial, and the Wildcats football program. A parent considering this school is looking at a small-town elementary setting where the school is a central part of community identity.
The school’s racial and ethnic composition shows a student body where a majority of students are white, with a significant share identifying as two or more races and smaller groups of Hispanic and American Indian or Alaska Native students. The school reported no data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, nor on the share of students with disabilities or those classified as English learners, so a family cannot gauge the economic or special-education makeup of the peer group from the available information.
On the academic side, the picture is mixed by grade and subject. For mathematics, fourth graders and sixth graders posted results that place overall proficiency well above the midpoint when compared with other districts in Noble County. Third-grade and fifth-grade math scores were suppressed, meaning the state did not release them. The proficiency index across all tested subjects and grades at Morrison ES was in the top quartile among Noble County districts, a strong relative showing. English language arts results were suppressed for every tested grade from third through sixth, so there is no available data on how students performed in reading and writing. Science results for fifth grade were also suppressed. The lack of ELA and science data is a significant gap for any parent trying to understand how the school builds literacy. It may reflect the state’s small-group suppression rules, which withhold results when the tested group is small enough to risk identifying individual students, but the data provided does not confirm that reason. A parent may want to ask the school directly about its reading and writing outcomes and how they track literacy growth across grades.
Because Morrison ES serves only through grade six, there is no graduation rate to consider, nor are there course access offerings that would apply to a secondary program. The school is not a charter school, and its Title I status was not reported. Housing in the Morrison area is moderately priced, with a median home value close to the state average, meaning a family moving here for the school will find a relatively affordable market. No recent district-level changes or strategic priorities were found in publicly available sources, so this profile reflects the school as it stands without evidence of upcoming shifts. For a family seeking a rural elementary school with strong math results in the tested grades relative to its county peers, Morrison ES fits that description, though the absence of literacy and science data limits how complete a picture a parent can draw.
