Summary:
Buffalo United Charter School is the sole school in the data set, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 524 students. As a public charter school in the Buffalo United Charter School District, it faces significant academic challenges, with student performance consistently below the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels.
The school's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.4% to 49.09% in ELA and 12.5% to 50% in Math, compared to state averages of 54.07% to 56.61% and 46.74% to 59.7%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 2357 out of 2439 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2197 out of 2445 in 2024-2025, and it has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in New York.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (92.75% in 2023-2024) and its relatively high per-student spending ($17,489 for the 2023-2024 school year) suggest that it faces significant socioeconomic challenges and may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning and achievement. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the school's academic performance issues and improve outcomes for its students.
