Genesee Community Charter School

Summary:

Genesee Community Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 214 students in grades K-6 in Rochester, New York. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, diverse student population, and higher funding compared to the surrounding Rochester City School District.

Genesee Community Charter School has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic assessments, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages in 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Math. The school also has a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the district, and it has maintained a 3-star rating out of 5 on the New York State School Digger rankings, while most nearby district schools have a 0-star rating. This suggests the school's higher funding of $16,023 per student may contribute to its academic success.

While Genesee Community Charter School has a diverse student population, with 40.19% White, 32.71% African American, and 13.55% Hispanic students, the percentage of White students has decreased over the past few years. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with White and male students outperforming African American and low-socioeconomic status students. This highlights the need to address achievement gaps and ensure equitable opportunities for all students, regardless of their background. Nearby district schools, such as School 9-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., School 35-Pinnacle, and School 53 Montessori Academy, consistently perform significantly lower than Genesee Community Charter School, underscoring the stark contrast in educational outcomes between the charter school and the district-run schools in the area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
