Summary:

The New Rochelle City School District consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with several standout institutions and areas for improvement.

Albert Leonard Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, with strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Daniel Webster Elementary School, a magnet school, is one of the top-performing elementary schools in the district and the state, with exceptionally high proficiency rates in core subjects. While New Rochelle High School has a lower overall ranking compared to the middle and elementary schools, it still performs well on many metrics, including a relatively high graduation rate and strong performance on Regents exams.

The district and its schools generally perform at or above the state average on Regents exams and state assessments, with some notable exceptions, such as proficiency in Geometry and Earth Science. The wide range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 30.61% at Daniel Webster Elementary to 83.64% at Columbus Elementary, suggests significant socioeconomic diversity within the district. Addressing the challenges faced by the high school, such as chronic absenteeism, and ensuring equitable access to quality education across all schools will be important focus areas for the New Rochelle City School District going forward.
