Oswego City School District

Summary:

The Oswego City School District in New York consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and resource levels across the schools.

Among the standout schools, Minetto Elementary School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest math proficiency rates in grades 3-6 compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, Charles E. Riley Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in math for grades 3 and 4, as well as the highest percentage of students proficient in ELA for grade 3. However, the district as a whole struggles, with Oswego High School having a below-average graduation rate, a high dropout rate, and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate.

The data reveals significant disparities in student demographics, test scores, and resource allocation across the schools in the Oswego City School District. While some schools, like Minetto Elementary and Charles E. Riley Elementary, are performing better, the district as a whole is underperforming compared to other schools in New York state, with most schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories and having a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
