Summary:
The Charter School Of Inquiry is the sole elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Charter School Of Inquiry district located in Buffalo, New York. With a total enrollment of 287 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments that fall well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,686 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1, its academic performance has been consistently poor, with its statewide ranking for elementary schools dropping from 2271 out of 2439 in 2022-2023 to 2385 out of 2445 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively utilize its resources to improve educational outcomes for its students, 94.43% of whom are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The combination of low academic performance, high poverty concentration, and high spending without commensurate outcomes raises concerns about the school's ability to meet the educational needs of its students. This situation highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges faced by the Charter School Of Inquiry and improve the quality of education it provides to the community.
