The school faces challenges common to many high-poverty urban schools, with 91.12% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, West Buffalo Charter School has seen mixed performance on the New York State Assessments, outperforming the state average in some grade levels but underperforming in others.
