Summary:
The Ossining Union Free School District in New York contains a single high school, Ossining High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate, it also faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and inconsistent academic performance on Regents exams.
Ossining High School has a four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance on Regents exams varies significantly, with strong results in Algebra II and Global History and Geography, but significantly lower-than-average scores in Earth Science, Living Environment, and U.S. History and Government. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.3 is slightly lower than the state average, and it spends $31,259 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Ossining High School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with 57.07% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher-than-average proportion of students from low-income families. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% could be a contributing factor to its lower-than-average graduation rate, and addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important area of focus for the school. Overall, while Ossining High School has some strengths, it also faces significant challenges that will require a multi-faceted approach to address.
