Elementary Schools in Rochester City School District


Summary:

The Rochester City School District contains 30 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with a few standout institutions demonstrating the potential for improvement district-wide.

School 19-Dr Charles T Lunsford stands out as the highest-performing school, with 3rd-8th grade ELA and math proficiency rates significantly exceeding the district and state averages. School 23-Francis Parker and School 46-Charles Carroll also demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking among the top 2-star schools in the district. Additionally, School 15-Children's School Of Rochester (The) and School 34-Dr Louis A Cerulli have some of the highest 3rd-6th grade proficiency rates in ELA and math.

However, the district-wide proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating a need for improvement. The data also reveals a correlation between higher per-student spending and stronger academic outcomes, suggesting that adequate funding may be a key factor in supporting student success. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across the district suggest that many students face socioeconomic challenges that can impact their learning, highlighting the importance of targeted support and resources to address these barriers to achievement.
