Cheektowaga Central School District

The Cheektowaga Central School District in New York serves students from three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. Unfortunately, the data indicates that all three schools are performing significantly below the state average in academic achievement, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. The schools also face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65% to 68% across the district.

None of the schools in the Cheektowaga Central School District stand out as high-performing. Union East Elementary School ranks 2,074 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and has a 1-star rating, while Cheektowaga High School ranks 808 out of 1,228 New York high schools and has a 2-star rating. Cheektowaga Middle School ranks 1,326 out of 1,500 New York middle schools and also has a 1-star rating.

Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending in the district, ranging from $13,102 to $17,901, the schools have not been able to improve their academic performance. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates and utilizes its resources to better support the needs of its diverse student population and address the underlying issues contributing to the consistently low performance across all three schools.
