Summary:
The Ossining Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Ossining High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate, it also faces several challenges that may be impacting its overall academic performance and statewide ranking.
Ossining High School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subjects showing strong proficiency rates and others lagging behind the state average.
Additionally, over 50% of Ossining High School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school district's spending per student of $20,561 is higher than the state average, but the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past three school years, suggesting that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Addressing these challenges should be a priority for the school and district in order to improve outcomes for students.
