School 15-Children's School Of Rochester (The)

Summary:

School 15-Children's School Of Rochester (The) is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 347 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools and performing well below state and district averages on academic assessments.

The school's low academic performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 10-30% of their respective subgroups statewide. This suggests that the school may be struggling to meet the unique needs of its diverse student population. However, there are some positive trends, as the school's ranking for female students and white students has improved in recent years. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the academic challenges. Despite these difficulties, the school has seen an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, indicating a commitment to investing in the school and its students.

When compared to nearby schools, the pattern of low performance is not unique to School 15-Children's School Of Rochester (The). Other schools within the Rochester City School District, such as School 52-Frank Fowler Dow, School 33-John James Audubon, and School 28-Henry Hudson, also demonstrate poor academic performance and high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. In contrast, schools outside the Rochester City School District, such as Indian Landing Elementary School and Council Rock Primary School, show significantly higher academic performance and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
