Summary:

The city of Ossining, New York is home to two middle schools: Anne M Dorner Middle School and Roosevelt School. These schools serve students in the Ossining Union Free School District, with Anne M Dorner Middle School covering grades 6-8 and Roosevelt School serving only 5th grade students.

Anne M Dorner Middle School is the larger of the two schools, with 1,031 students, but has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools over the past three years. The school struggles with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. However, it stands out with a 100% proficiency rate in Regents Algebra I, outperforming both the district and state averages. In contrast, Roosevelt School, with only 318 students, has proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 5th grade that are closer to the state averages, though still below.

Both schools serve a high-need student population, with around 57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are similar between the two schools. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes across the Ossining middle schools, while also exploring the factors behind the success in Regents Algebra I at Anne M Dorner Middle School to potentially replicate in other subject areas.
