Summary:
The 14608 zip code area of Rochester, New York is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Rochester City School District. While the schools serve predominantly non-white, economically disadvantaged student populations, one school, School 19-Dr. Charles T. Lunsford, stands out as a top performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and other schools in the area.
The student populations at these schools face significant economic challenges, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 91% to 93%. However, School 19-Dr. Charles T. Lunsford has managed to outperform its peers, with 34.78% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 14.99% for the Rochester City School District as a whole. In 4th-grade Math, 68.97% of School 19 students were proficient or better, while the district average was only 12.89%.
Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $13,877 to $17,403, the overall academic performance of the schools in the 14608 zip code area is low, with most receiving a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The exception is School 19-Dr. Charles T. Lunsford, which earned a 2-star rating, the highest among the schools in the data set. This suggests that while the Rochester City School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, there are pockets of success, like School 19, that can serve as models for improvement.
