School 28-Henry Hudson

Summary:

School 28-Henry Hudson is an elementary school located in Rochester, New York, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 616 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. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

School 28-Henry Hudson consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 8.2% (4th grade) to 20.27% (7th grade), compared to the state average of 42.6% to 51.88%. In Math, the proficiency rates ranged from 6.56% (4th grade) to 22.54% (8th grade), compared to the state average of 40.72% to 58.03%. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools for African American students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.98% to 93.26% over the past three school years, and its increased spending per student from $15,384 in the 2019-2020 school year to $18,171 in the 2022-2023 school year, the academic performance of the students has not shown any significant improvement. This suggests that the school faces significant challenges in serving a student population with high economic needs and that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's persistent struggles. However, the proximity of several other elementary schools within the same district, such as School 46-Charles Carroll, School 52-Frank Fowler Dow, and School 33-John James Audubon, presents an opportunity for School 28-Henry Hudson to collaborate and share resources and best practices to improve 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.
