Summary:
The 14605 zip code area of Rochester, New York is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 alternative school, all part of the Rochester City School District. While these schools face significant challenges, with students performing well below state and district averages in academic proficiency, a few standout schools show promise in addressing the educational needs of this community.
School 58-World Of Inquiry School stands out with an 89.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.0% dropout rate, the only school in the data set with this information. School 25-Nathaniel Hawthorne has the highest spending per student at $17,334 and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.1, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance compared to the other schools. However, the true standout is School 53 Montessori Academy, which has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts across all grade levels and strong math proficiency, particularly in 4th and 6th grades.
Despite these bright spots, the schools in the 14605 zip code area face significant challenges, with all schools having high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.65% to 94.68%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. Addressing the stark performance gaps and systemic inequities in these schools will require a multifaceted approach that considers the allocation of resources, teaching strategies, and broader societal factors that impact student learning and success.
