Oswego City School District

Summary:

The Oswego City School District in New York consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 699 out of 874 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the district, Oswego Middle School has the highest statewide ranking, ranking 972 out of 1500 New York middle schools and receiving a 2-star rating. It also has strong performance on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Living Environment. Minetto Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments among the elementary schools, with over 60% proficiency in Math and English Language Arts in several grade levels. Kingsford Park Elementary School has the second-highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 1510 out of 2445, and strong performance in 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some elementary schools struggling to achieve proficiency rates above 30% on state assessments, while others are performing closer to the state average. Additionally, Oswego High School faces challenges, including lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism issues, contributing to its relatively low statewide ranking and 2-star rating. The district's high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools also suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may require additional resources and support to help close achievement gaps.
