Summary

Anne M Dorner Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Ossining, NY, part of the Ossining Union Free School District. With 1,031 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10-12, the school has seen its per-student spending increase from $17,217 in 2020-2021 to $30,416 in 2023-2024, though its academic performance has remained relatively stagnant.

Despite the increased investment, Anne M Dorner Middle School consistently performs below the state average on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 32-51% compared to the state averages of 51-56%. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school stands out for its exceptional performance on Regents exams in Algebra I and Earth Science/Earth and Space Sciences, with 100% proficiency rates.

When compared to nearby middle schools like Westlake Middle School, Pleasantville Middle School, and Briarcliff Middle School, which all significantly outperform Anne M Dorner on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, the school's challenges become more apparent. The district may need to examine best practices from these higher-performing schools to improve outcomes at Anne M Dorner Middle School.
