Morrow County School District

For the last five years, the Morrow County School District has made improving student academic achievement its most important goal. Teachers and administrators have focused on three important components of achievement: learning time, quality of instruction, and relevance of curriculum.

• Learning Time - After school, Friday school, and summer school programs have been added for students who are not reaching their potential. Additionally, high school students below benchmark performance are required to take additional language arts courses.
• Instruction - The MCSD teaching staff has been engaged in five years of progressive, best practices staff development. Teachers meet regularly to examine achievement data and relate it to classroom practice.
• Curriculum - Teachers and administrators have defined the “power standards,” the most important skills that students need for success in future course work and in life.
