Rochester Prep Charter School 3

Rochester Prep Charter School 3 is the sole elementary school in the Rochester Prep Charter School network, serving students in grades K-6. This high-poverty school has a predominantly non-white student population, with 71.89% African American and 21.16% Hispanic students. While the school outperforms the state average in mathematics, it lags behind in English Language Arts, particularly in the lower grades.

With a free/reduced lunch rate of 90.95%, Rochester Prep Charter School 3 serves a student population that comes primarily from low-income households. The school's spending of $16,510 per student is significantly higher than the state average, which could indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to its students. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past three years, from 1214 in 2022-2023 to 2071 in 2020-2021, suggesting that its performance may be declining relative to other elementary schools in New York.

As the sole representative of the Rochester Prep Charter School network in this data set, Rochester Prep Charter School 3 faces the challenge of addressing the academic needs of its high-poverty, predominantly non-white student population. While the school's strong mathematics performance and high spending per student are positive indicators, its declining statewide ranking and lagging English Language Arts proficiency rates suggest that there is room for improvement in ensuring the academic success of all its students.
