Q: Is Rochester Prep Charter School 3 a good school?

Rochester Prep Charter School 3 ranks 1214 th of 2439 New York elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rochester Prep Charter School 3 is an elementary school serving grades K-6 in Rochester, NY, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with stronger results in math compared to English Language Arts, but has demonstrated notable strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups.

While Rochester Prep Charter School 3's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, the school has outperformed many of the nearby Rochester City School District schools on academic measures. For example, School 8-Roberto Clemente, School 45-Mary McLeod Bethune, and School 39-Andrew J Townson all had significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and math compared to Rochester Prep Charter School 3. This is particularly noteworthy given that Rochester Prep Charter School 3 serves a high-need population, with 90.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby district schools.

The school's ability to achieve relatively strong academic outcomes, particularly for its African American, Hispanic, low-income, and homeless student subgroups, despite these socioeconomic challenges is commendable. Additionally, the significant increase in per-student spending at Rochester Prep Charter School 3, from $10,858 in 2019-2020 to $16,510 in 2022-2023, may have contributed to the school's academic improvements, especially in math, over the past few years.

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.
