Florence Brasser School

Summary:

Florence Brasser School is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving around 400 students in grades K-5 as part of the Gates Chili Central School District. While the district is ranked 647 out of 865 school districts in New York, Florence Brasser School's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state average and lags behind some nearby schools in the same district.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) range from 34.85% to 44.44%, compared to state averages of 42.6% to 47.05%. In math, the school's proficiency rates are closer to or above the state averages, but still behind the performance of schools like Walt Disney School and Paul Road School within the same district. The school also struggles with the performance of its special education and economically disadvantaged student populations, which rank in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.

While Florence Brasser School has seen an increase in per-student spending and maintains a relatively stable student-teacher ratio, the school's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to nearby schools may be contributing to its lower academic performance. Addressing the significant disparities in subgroup performance, particularly for African American, special education, and economically disadvantaged students, should be a top priority for the school and the Gates Chili Central School District. Collaborative efforts with nearby schools and targeted interventions could help improve student outcomes at Florence Brasser School.

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.
