Lovejoy Discovery School #43 has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 93.07%, which may contribute to the school's challenges. This highlights the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on educational outcomes and the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities within the Buffalo City School District and the Cheektowaga-Sloan Union Free School District.
