White Plains City School District

The White Plains City School District consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population in the White Plains area. The data reveals notable differences in performance and characteristics across the schools, with Ridgeway School standing out as the top-performing elementary school, and White Plains Middle School and White Plains Senior High School also showing promising results.

Ridgeway School excels academically, with 46-71% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, the highest in the district. Mamaroneck Avenue School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, the best among the elementary schools. While the district as a whole has lower proficiency rates compared to the state, the significant differences in performance between schools suggest that best practices from high-performing schools could be shared to improve outcomes across the district.

The schools serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. However, the data indicates performance gaps between these groups and their white peers, highlighting the need to address equity and ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities. The district's middle and high schools also play a crucial role, with White Plains Senior High School reporting a 89.8% four-year graduation rate and a 2.3% dropout rate, suggesting a focus on student success beyond the elementary level.
