National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Dobbs Ferry has more public-school enrollment than 8% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Springhurst Elementary School enrolls 40.2% of Dobbs Ferry's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary

Dobbs Ferry's list includes 2 elementary, 2 middle, and 2 high-school campuses, plus 1 combined-grade record. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Dobbs Ferry lists only 7 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 14 to 677 students, a 48-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Springhurst Elementary School accounts for 40.2% of all Dobbs Ferry public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Dobbs Ferry-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Dobbs Ferry school enrollment varies 48× across entities

Dobbs Ferry school enrollment ranges from 14 students (lowest) to 677 students (highest), a spread of 663 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme heterogeneity inside a single city, with small specialty programs listed alongside large comprehensive campuses. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Dobbs Ferry student-teacher ratio is 6.6:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
