Buffalo United Charter School

Buffalo United Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Buffalo United Charter School district, with an enrollment of 659 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be a consistently low-performing institution, ranking between 2,259 and 2,357 out of 2,434 to 2,445 New York elementary schools over the past three school years. With a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from 15.52% to 42.19% and 10.53% to 29.41%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 51.88% in ELA and 40.72% to 58.03% in Math. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (95.45%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average at $13,278, this does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes.

The consistently low performance, significant achievement gaps, and high-poverty student population of Buffalo United Charter School suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and strategies to address the challenges and improve student outcomes. The data highlights the importance of ensuring that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for success.
