The school also has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 5% of New York elementary schools. In contrast, Buffalo Commons Charter School serves a more diverse student population and has a lower rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but the data does not provide information on its academic performance or statewide ranking.
The data highlights the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools, with Enterprise Charter School having an exceptionally high rate of students (91.44%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools in the 14203 zip code area serve communities with significant economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the academic struggles observed at Enterprise Charter School. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
