Mount Morris Central School District

The Mount Morris Central School District operates two schools: Mount Morris Elementary School and Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School. Both schools serve a population with high levels of economic disadvantage, with over 57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the academic performance at these schools is concerning, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to state averages.

Mount Morris Elementary School is ranked 1765 out of 2439 New York elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates range from 6.82% to 50%, far below the state averages of 44.89% to 53.85%. In contrast, Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School is ranked 782 out of 1228 New York high schools and has a 2-star rating, but it also underperforms the state in ELA and Math proficiency for grades 7 and 8, with rates ranging from 21.74% to 46.15%.

While the middle/high school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.5%, it also has a concerning dropout rate of 2.4%. Additionally, the middle/high school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.8%, which can further impact student learning and achievement. Overall, the Mount Morris Central School District appears to face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing these issues should be a top priority for the district.
