School 42-Abelard Reynolds

Summary:

School 42-Abelard Reynolds is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving 456 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 852 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $12,930 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, School 42-Abelard Reynolds consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state. Only 8.45% to 24.53% of students are proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 6.56% to 15.25% are proficient or better in Math. The school's performance is particularly low for African American, Hispanic, and special education students, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby Rise Community School and other local schools generally perform better than School 42-Abelard Reynolds on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, despite serving similar or even more diverse student populations. This suggests that the challenges faced by School 42-Abelard Reynolds may be specific to the school itself, rather than solely attributable to the demographics of the student population. The school's persistent low performance, despite its relatively high spending and small class sizes, raises questions about the effectiveness of its resource allocation and the need for a more targeted and evidence-based approach to improving student learning.

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.
