Summary

Buffalo Elementary School Of Technology is a public elementary school serving 522 students in grades PK-8 in the Buffalo City School District. Despite high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state over the past 8 years, with only 29.17% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 18.87% proficient in math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 54.15% and 59.7% respectively.

The school's struggles are not unique, as nearby Harriet Ross Tubman Academy, Bilingual Center, and Marva J Daniel Futures Preparatory School also perform poorly on standardized tests. This suggests that the challenges facing Buffalo Elementary School Of Technology are systemic within the Buffalo City School District. The high percentage of students from low-income families, as well as the high proportion of English Language Learners and Special Education students, may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.

Given the persistent and widespread academic challenges across the district, a comprehensive, data-driven approach to addressing the underlying factors impacting student achievement may be necessary to drive meaningful and sustainable improvements for Buffalo Elementary School Of Technology and other struggling schools in the area.
