Ogdensburg City School District

Summary:

The Ogdensburg City School District consists of three schools: two elementary schools (John F Kennedy School and Madill School) and one high school (Ogdensburg Free Academy). The data reveals that Ogdensburg Free Academy is the standout school in the district, consistently performing at a high level across various metrics.

Ogdensburg Free Academy is ranked among the top 229 high schools in New York state, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts an impressive 84.3% 4-year graduation rate and a low 4.5% dropout rate in 2023-2024. The school's students also excel on state assessments and Regents exams, often exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, the two elementary schools, John F Kennedy School and Madill School, have lower performance and rankings, with 2-3 star ratings from SchoolDigger and more mixed results on state assessments.

The district as a whole has a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across the schools. Despite the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the mixed performance across the schools suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive consistent improvements. The district should focus on identifying and implementing targeted interventions to support all students and raise the performance of the elementary schools to match the success of Ogdensburg Free Academy.
