School 2-Clara Barton

Summary:

School 2-Clara Barton is an elementary school in Rochester, NY that serves grades PK-6 and has 328 students. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 849 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

School 2-Clara Barton consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92-97% over the past 3 years, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Despite spending between $13,143 and $14,234 per student, which is higher than the district average, the school's academic performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past 10 years, with no signs of meaningful improvement.

The challenges facing School 2-Clara Barton appear to be systemic across the Rochester City School District, as the other nearby schools such as Dr. Walter Cooper Academy, School 29-Adlai E. Stevenson, and School 4-George Mather Forbes all have very similar low academic performance and high poverty rates. However, the nearby True North Rochester Prep-West Camp, a public charter school, significantly outperforms School 2-Clara Barton and the district on state assessments, suggesting that alternative school models may be more effective in this high-need 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.
