Summary

West Hertel Elementary School is a public school in Buffalo, New York, serving 718 students in grades PK-8. Despite being part of the Buffalo City School District, which is ranked 830 out of 874 school districts in New York, West Hertel Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with students consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 16.67% (6th grade) to 30.43% (7th grade), compared to the district's range of 26.26% (5th grade) to 31.99% (3rd grade) and the state's range of 50.86% (6th grade) to 56.61% (5th grade). The school's math proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 2.97% (6th grade) to 36.78% (8th grade), compared to the district's 23.35% (5th grade) to 33.59% (3rd grade) and the state's 51.2% (6th grade) to 59.7% (3rd grade). Additionally, the school serves a high-needs student population, with 94.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Ps 64 Frederick Law Olmsted, a nearby school in the Buffalo City School District, it becomes clear that West Hertel Elementary is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Ps 64 Frederick Law Olmsted, located less than a mile away, ranks in the top 20% of New York elementary schools and significantly outperforms West Hertel in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. Despite the high per-student spending at West Hertel Elementary, the school's performance has remained stagnant, or even declined, over the past several years, indicating that significant interventions and support may be necessary to address the systemic challenges facing the school and its students.
