Among the schools in this area, West Buffalo Charter School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 1109 out of 2445 New York elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, the majority of schools in the 14213 zip code area struggle, with the International School, Frank A Sedita School #30, and Lafayette International School having the lowest proficiency rates on state assessments. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 90% in some schools) and chronic absenteeism at the high schools (over 34%) suggest that these schools face significant challenges in providing quality education to their predominantly low-income student populations.
