Public Grades

Summary

School 2-Clara Barton is an elementary school in Rochester, NY that serves grades PK-6 and has 328 students. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 849 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

School 2-Clara Barton consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92-97% over the past 3 years, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Despite spending between $13,143 and $14,234 per student, which is higher than the district average, the school's academic performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past 10 years, with no signs of meaningful improvement.

The challenges facing School 2-Clara Barton appear to be systemic across the Rochester City School District, as the other nearby schools such as Dr. Walter Cooper Academy, School 29-Adlai E. Stevenson, and School 4-George Mather Forbes all have very similar low academic performance and high poverty rates. However, the nearby True North Rochester Prep-West Camp, a public charter school, significantly outperforms School 2-Clara Barton and the district on state assessments, suggesting that alternative school models may be more effective in this high-need area.
