School 42-Abelard Reynolds

Summary:

School 42-Abelard Reynolds is an elementary school located in Rochester, NY, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 456 students. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 849 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

School 42-Abelard Reynolds consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state, with rankings between 2166 and 2404 out of around 2,400 schools over the past several years. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 85-86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a high proportion of minority students, with the majority being African American and Hispanic. Despite spending between $10,600 and $12,900 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.4 to 13.7 students per teacher, the school's academic performance remains consistently poor.

When compared to nearby schools in other districts, such as Colebrook School and Paddy Hill Elementary School, School 42-Abelard Reynolds performs significantly worse academically, despite having similar or higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the overall low performance of the Rochester City School District may be contributing factors to the school's struggles, but the data suggests that the school is not effectively addressing the needs of its student population.

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.
