Summary:
West Buffalo Charter School is the sole elementary school serving the West Buffalo area, providing education for students in grades K-8. With an enrollment of 503 students, the school has a mixed academic performance, with some grade levels exceeding the state average in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency, while others fall below. Despite these fluctuations, West Buffalo Charter School maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 397 out of 865 districts in New York.
The school's test scores show a varied picture, with 4th, 6th, and 7th grade ELA proficiency rates above the state average, but 3rd, 5th, and 8th grade falling short. In Math, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades exceed the state average, while 3rd, 7th, and 8th grades lag behind. Science proficiency is above the state average in 8th grade but below in 5th grade. With a high rate of 90.06% free/reduced lunch recipients, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and resource needs.
Despite these mixed results, West Buffalo Charter School appears to be investing in its students, with spending per student higher than the state average and a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 15.2. These factors may contribute to the school's overall academic performance, which fluctuates but generally remains above the state average in several grade levels. While the school has room for improvement, particularly in its lower-performing grades, it seems to be working to support its students and provide a quality education.
