Summary:
The 14510 zip code in New York is home to two schools: Mount Morris Elementary School and Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School, both part of the Mount Morris Central School District. While the middle/high school performs better academically, both schools face challenges, including low proficiency rates on state assessments, high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and concerning attendance and dropout issues.
Mount Morris Elementary School struggles with low academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 16-50% across different grade levels and subjects, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School performs better, with proficiency rates ranging from 43-88% on Regents exams and state assessments, and a 2-star rating. However, the high school also faces challenges, including a concerning dropout rate of 4.9% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%.
Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with nearly 60% of students at the elementary school and 57.4% at the high school receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges observed. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school compared to the elementary school suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district, which could be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable support across all grade levels.
