School 8-Roberto Clemente

Summary:

School 8-Roberto Clemente is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Rochester City School District, with 464 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The key issues facing School 8-Roberto Clemente are its significantly underperforming academic results compared to the district and state averages, its high-needs student population with 93.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its high per-student spending of $16,528 in 2022-2023 that has not translated into improved outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is lower than the district average, but this has not led to better academic performance. Nearby schools in the Rochester City School District also struggle with low academic performance, but School 8-Roberto Clemente consistently ranks among the lowest in the district and state.

Overall, the data indicates that School 8-Roberto Clemente is a chronically underperforming school that serves a high-needs student population. Significant and sustained efforts will be needed to address the root causes of the school's low academic performance and improve outcomes for its students. While increasing funding alone may not be the sole solution, targeted interventions and support services tailored to the unique needs of this student population could potentially make a difference.

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.
