Summary:
True North Rochester Prep-West Camp is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the area, with 754 students enrolled. The school faces challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its below-average performance on state assessments and Regents exams, particularly in English Language Arts.
Despite the school's high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (88.46%) and above-average per-student spending of $15,490, its statewide ranking on the SchoolDigger scale has fluctuated between 1439 and 1653 out of 2,439-2,445 New York elementary schools, placing it in the bottom third of schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of 22.1 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
While True North Rochester Prep-West Camp is making efforts to support its high-need population, the data suggests that more work is needed to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps. The school's performance raises questions about the effectiveness of its instructional practices and support systems, and highlights the need for targeted interventions to help students meet proficiency standards.
