Mount Morris Central School District

The Mount Morris Central School District operates two schools: Mount Morris Elementary School and Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School. The district is ranked 709 out of 874 districts in New York, indicating it is a relatively low-performing district.

Mount Morris Elementary School has relatively low performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 16-52% across different grade levels and subjects. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 59.37%, indicating a high-need student population. However, the school has a small student-teacher ratio of 9.2, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention. In contrast, Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School has slightly better performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 22-85% across different grade levels and Regents exams. The high school also has a higher graduation rate of 84.3% but a concerning dropout rate of 4.5% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%.

Both schools have relatively small student-teacher ratios, which could be an advantage, but this does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes. The data suggests that the district and schools face significant challenges in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for students in the Mount Morris Central School District.
