Poughkeepsie City School District


Summary:

The Poughkeepsie City School District in New York serves a diverse student population across 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces significant challenges, with low-performing schools and wide achievement gaps compared to state averages, a few standout schools show promise.

Morse Young Magnet School and Warring Magnet Academy of Science and Technology have the lowest student-teacher ratios among the elementary schools, potentially indicating more individualized attention for students. However, the district's overall academic performance is concerning, with most schools scoring well below state averages in English Language Arts and Math. The high school and middle school, in particular, rank in the bottom 13% and 4% of New York schools, respectively.

The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch percentages ranging from 74.25% to 81.64%, likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools and students in the district. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the Poughkeepsie City School District's students.
