Anne M Dorner Middle School

Summary:

Anne M Dorner Middle School is a public middle school in Ossining, New York, serving 1,033 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Ossining Union Free School District, which is ranked 698 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, its academic performance consistently falls below the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students performing relatively well, but African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing much worse. Compared to nearby schools, such as Westlake Middle School in the Mount Pleasant Central School District, Anne M Dorner Middle School is underperforming, with a statewide ranking of 1079 out of 1504 schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's declining performance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 548 out of 1242 schools in 2020-2021 to 1079 out of 1504 schools in 2023-2024, is concerning. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the school suggests that it serves a relatively disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups raise concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
