Westminster Community Charter School


Summary:

Westminster Community Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Westminster Community Charter School District in Buffalo, New York. With a diverse student population of 427 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the state average.

The school's student body is predominantly African American (73.77%), with sizable Asian (16.16%) and Hispanic (6.09%) populations. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math well below the state average across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate is 26.67% compared to the state average of 44.89%. This suggests that the school may need to implement more effective strategies and interventions to support student learning and achievement.

Additionally, the school has an extremely high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 95.78%, indicating that the majority of the student population comes from low-income households. Despite the high spending of $22,083 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not improved. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for more targeted support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
