Universal Free School Meals Available for All Students

The Dobbs Ferry School District is participating in the New York State Child Nutrition Free Meals Program. This program guarantees that every student will have access to school breakfast and lunch at no cost to families for the 2025-26 school year.


No action is required for students to receive free school breakfast and lunch; however, families are encouraged to submit applications for free and reduced-price meals regardless of eligibility. Enrollment is strictly confidential and may enable eligible families to benefit from waivers for college application fees, standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT, and discounted school-related expenses.


The Free and Reduced Application enables the district to qualify for federal and state grants that help support student education.

The Class of 2025 - Where Are They Now?

It's hard to imagine that this school year has begun at Dobbs Ferry Schools without the students of the Class of 2025. While we all miss our graduates, we're proud of the places they've gone and the things they'll do. Here are a few accolades and accomplishments courtesy of our exceptional recent graduates.


The Class of 2025 had a staggering 46 IB diploma candidates, showing an elite level of academic achievement and ushering in our 26th year as an IB World School. Feats of academic excellence were common in every corner of the class including among our student-athletes, who earned Scholar-Athlete Team Awards for every one of our varsity teams. Only eight high schools in section one have earned that distinction.


Our graduates left behind an even more decorated school than they first entered in 2021, living up to the legacy of every class of graduates that came before them.


Much of the Class of 2025 is committed to furthering their education in college. Dobbs Ferry Class of 2025 graduates are representing the district at 79 colleges all across the country. Some highlights include Carnegie Mellon, Boston University, Brandeis, Fashion Institute of Technology, Binghamton, Cornell, Cooper Union, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Princeton, UCLA, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, Vassar, Villanova and many, many more.
