White Plains City School District


Summary:

The White Plains City School District consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the White Plains area. The district as a whole is ranked 547 out of 865 school districts in New York and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Ridgeway School is an elementary school that consistently performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. White Plains Middle School has strong performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry, as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6. White Plains Senior High School has a high graduation rate of 84.3% and strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in English Language Arts, Global History, and Physics.

The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the schools within the district. While some schools, like Ridgeway, excel, others, such as George Washington School, lag behind the district and state averages. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free/reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools with the highest free/reduced-lunch rates generally having lower proficiency rates.
