Summary:
The Charter School Of Inquiry is the sole elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Charter School Of Inquiry district in Buffalo, New York. With a total enrollment of 268 students, the school has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 855 out of 865 districts in New York.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on New York State Assessments that are substantially lower than the statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rate in English Language Arts was just 12.5% in 2023-2024, compared to the statewide average of 42.6%. Similarly, the 5th-grade proficiency rate in Math was 6.98%, far below the statewide average of 48.93%. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 95.9% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 and high per-student spending of $18,434 in the 2022-2023 school year, its academic performance remains consistently poor. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's struggles and develop strategies for improvement.
