Summary:
The city of Ossining, New York is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Ossining Union Free School District. While some schools show strengths in specific areas, the overall performance of the district is mixed, with most schools receiving low statewide rankings.
Ossining High School has relatively strong performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates above 70% in several subjects. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is low, at 675 out of 1,228 New York high schools. In contrast, Anne M Dorner Middle School had the highest proficiency rates in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 76.8% in Earth Science, outperforming the district and state averages. Yet, the school's overall statewide ranking is also low, at 1,137 out of 1,500 New York middle schools.
The schools in Ossining serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and significant percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.86% to 54.55%. This suggests that the district may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. To improve overall educational outcomes, the district could focus on raising proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in core subjects, and explore opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices among the schools.
