Best Public Schools in Odessa, NY

Summary:

The city of Odessa, New York is home to two schools: Odessa-Montour Junior/Senior High School and Howard A Hanlon Elementary School, both part of the Odessa-Montour Central School District. While the high school demonstrates relatively strong academic performance, the elementary school struggles to meet state and district averages on standardized tests, suggesting potential areas for improvement at the elementary level.

Odessa-Montour Junior/Senior High School stands out with a high graduation rate of 84.3% and strong performance on several Regents exams, exceeding the state average in subjects like English Language Arts, U.S. History and Government, and Earth Science. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 9:1, indicating a potentially more personalized learning environment. In contrast, Howard A Hanlon Elementary School struggles with proficiency rates, often falling well below the district and state averages on the New York State Assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 46%, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the elementary school level. Additionally, Odessa-Montour Junior/Senior High School spends significantly more per student ($17,896) compared to Howard A Hanlon Elementary School ($11,268), which could indicate a greater allocation of resources and support at the high school level.
