Summary:
The Elmwood Village Charter School Hertel is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Elmwood Village Charter School Hertel district located in Buffalo, New York. With a total enrollment of 431 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low test scores and high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
The school's test scores on the New York State Assessments are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 24.49% to 50%, compared to the state averages of 50.86% to 56.61%. In Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.37% to 50%, compared to the state averages of 46.74% to 59.7%. Despite the low test scores, the Elmwood Village Charter School Hertel spends a relatively high amount of $15,128 per student, which could indicate inefficient or ineffective use of resources.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 9.4 is lower than the state average, suggesting smaller class sizes, but this does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement. Additionally, 65.2% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the low academic performance and require additional support and resources to address their needs.
