South Buffalo Charter School


Summary:

South Buffalo Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the South Buffalo area, with 882 students. The school has a diverse student population, with nearly half of the students identifying as white, a third as African American, and the remainder as Hispanic, Asian, or Native American. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally below the New York state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and math.

Despite the lower academic performance, South Buffalo Charter School spends a relatively high amount per student ($13,091) and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6. This suggests the school is investing resources to support its students, who come from a high-need population, with over 73% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's overall ranking and rating from SchoolDigger indicate it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in New York.

Further analysis would be needed to understand the specific challenges South Buffalo Charter School faces and identify potential areas for improvement. While the school is serving a diverse and disadvantaged student population, its academic outcomes suggest there is room for growth to better support the educational needs of its students.
