Summary:
The Ogdensburg City School District in New York is home to two elementary schools, the John F. Kennedy School and the Madill School. While both schools serve a high-need student population with over 55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the Madill School appears to be the standout performer in the district.
The Madill School consistently ranks higher in the statewide school rankings, placing 1367th out of 2445 elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 1563rd for the John F. Kennedy School. Madill School also has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across most grade levels, often exceeding the district and state averages. For example, in 3rd grade Math, Madill School had 60.61% proficiency compared to 30.91% at John F. Kennedy and 42.05% district-wide.
While both schools benefit from high spending per student, over $21,000 per student, and low student-teacher ratios around 10 students per teacher, the Ogdensburg City School District as a whole is ranked 456th out of 865 districts in New York and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that there is still room for improvement in academic outcomes, particularly in Math and English Language Arts proficiency, across the district's elementary schools.
