Summary

Morris Central School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Morris, NY, with 307 students. The school has seen a 4-year graduation rate ranging from 84.3% to 92.8% over the past few years, but has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.2% to 34.1%.

While Morris Central School generally performs below the state average on standardized tests, it excels on Regents exams, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state average, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and U.S. History. The school has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $17,700 to $31,404 over the past few years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.4 to 8.2. However, this investment does not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes on state assessments.

Compared to nearby schools, Brookfield Central School and Milford Central School have similar performance profiles, while Cooperstown Elementary School significantly outperforms Morris Central School on state assessments. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.44% to 43.17%, suggests it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic performance struggles.
