Summary:
The Mount Morris Central School District in New York serves two schools: Mount Morris Elementary School and Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School. The district as a whole is ranked 615 out of 865 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement across the schools.
While the middle/high school performs relatively well on Regents exams, exceeding state averages in several subjects, the elementary school lags significantly behind state averages on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The high rates of chronic absenteeism at the middle/high school, reaching 34.1%, may be a contributing factor to the academic performance gaps between the two schools.
Addressing the disparities in academic achievement between the elementary and secondary schools, as well as the challenges posed by high poverty and chronic absenteeism, could be key priorities for the Mount Morris Central School District moving forward. Investing resources to support the elementary school and address the root causes of absenteeism may help to improve overall student outcomes across the district.
