Westminster Community Charter School

Westminster Community Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Westminster Community Charter School District located in Buffalo, New York. With a total enrollment of 427 students, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is consistently below the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 28.3% to 38.64%, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 51.88%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 16.98% to 52.78%, compared to the state averages of 40.72% to 58.03%. Westminster Community Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with a ranking of 1,831 out of 2,445 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($22,083 for the 2022-2023 school year) and lower student-teacher ratio (8.5 to 1), these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (95.78% in the 2022-2023 school year) suggests that the school may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors and resource allocation that could be impacting its academic performance.
