Leonardo Da Vinci High School ranks 883 rd of 1242 New York high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Leonardo Da Vinci High School is a public high school in Buffalo, NY, serving 372 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Buffalo City School District, which is ranked 821 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leonardo Da Vinci High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, ranging from 618th to 883rd out of over 1,200 schools in recent years. The school has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other high schools in the state. Student performance varies across different subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students tending to perform better than Asian and White students. However, the school still struggles to provide equitable outcomes, with all subgroups performing below state averages in most academic measures. The school's proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are generally lower than the Buffalo City School District and New York state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and Chemistry.

While the nearby McKinley Vocational High School and Pathways Academy perform at a similar or lower level than Leonardo Da Vinci High School, some schools like City Honors School and Hutchinson Central Technical High School significantly outperform Leonardo Da Vinci High School in academic achievement and statewide rankings. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Leonardo Da Vinci High School, with 70-77% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's overall academic challenges and performance issues.

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.
