The Tradition of Academic Excellence continues!

Morton Shines with Spring 2018 K-PREP results

We are extremely proud of our students, staff and families for these accomplishments! The state assessment scores demonstrate that Morton students are achieving a high quality, rigorous education, as well as making academic growth to reach their individual potential. Morton’s proficiency rating ranks us as a top middle school in Fayette County as well as in the state of Kentucky. Let’s continue to collaborate and partner together to help the dreams of our students become a reality!
