I attended school here and in a few years my kids will attend Morgan High. It is a great school. This is a small town, so most kids in the school know each other. I would highly recomend Morgan County Schools.

I am a graduate of the Class of 2011 from Morgan High. I am so impressed with the way this school is both in academics and in student life. Yes, kids here judge harshly but it is NOTHING in comparison to other High Schools in the nation or even the state. Overall, this school has many great programs rooted in wonderful tradition and core values. Students here receive life-skills education simply by being enrolled there. They have many opportunities to develop those skills outside of class. I would definitely have my children attend Morgan High because I believe it has achieved true excellence. My father is a football coach and I was involved in the choral program, both of which are fantastic here!

I am a graduate of Morgan High in 1999, Weber State University in 2004, and most recently an MBA student at Texas Tech. I attended schools in California as well as Germany. From an academic point of view, Morgan High is by far the weakest of any school I attended. Had I attended Morgan High alone, I would have been ill-prepared for university studies. There is very little diversity and as such the school suffers from what I like to call the 'Utah bubble'. In addition, the advanced class offerings were substandard in comparison to other local schools. On the other hand, Morgan did have excellent teachers, coaches, and principals who cared about students. Extracurriculars were good, I lettered in four separate sports. All in all, I would send my own children to another school for preparation for the real world. Morgan High curriculum was simply too easy.

We are new to this school after being in CA for 3 of other children completing high school. This school is outstanding. They have a winning tradition in academics, sports and life. I wish all schools were patterned after this one.

Morgan High School is a great place to teach and learn. They have great teachers who work extra hard to help a student(s). There are a lot of above average students. The class of 2003 has around 7 Valevictorians, which proves how many great students there are.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Utah used the Utah Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 1 through 11 in language arts, in grades 1 through 7 in math, in grades 4 through 9 in science and upon completion of certain courses in grades 8 through 11. The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject.
