School 19-Dr Charles T Lunsford

Summary:

School 19-Dr Charles T Lunsford is an elementary school in the Rochester City School District in Rochester, NY, serving grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 322 students. While the school consistently outperforms the district average on state assessments, its overall performance is still below the state average, and it has struggled to make significant, sustained improvements over the past decade.

One of the school's bright spots is its relatively strong performance for its African American and special education student subgroups compared to other schools in the district and state. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, School 19 ranked 453 out of 927 New York elementary schools for its African American students and 581 out of 2,110 for its special education students. However, the school lags behind for its Hispanic, low socioeconomic, and homeless student subgroups. This highlights persistent inequities that need to be addressed.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Rochester City School District, such as School 4-George Mather Forbes and School 29-Adlai E Stevenson, perform similarly poorly on state assessments and have comparable student demographics. In contrast, the public charter school True North Rochester Prep-West Camp, which is also nearby, significantly outperforms School 19 and the district average across grades and subjects, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may play a key role in driving student outcomes.

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.
