School 54-Flower City Community School

Summary:

School 54-Flower City Community School is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving 314 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.

School 54-Flower City Community School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 4.88% to 18.75%, compared to the state average of 44.89% to 48.79%. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and Hispanic students, as well as other disadvantaged subgroups. This may be due in part to the high percentage of students (over 93%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the school's community.

While the nearby schools in the Rochester City School District also struggle with academic performance, School 54-Flower City Community School generally ranks lower than these schools, as well as nearby charter schools like Exploration Ele Charter School - Science-Technol and Urban Choice Charter School. This suggests that the school faces unique challenges in supporting student learning and may require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its predominantly African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged 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.
