Summary

Rochester Prep Charter School 2 is an elementary school serving 803 students in grades K-8 in Rochester, New York. The school is part of the Rochester Prep Charter School District, which is ranked 665 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rochester Prep Charter School 2 stands out for its significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the surrounding Rochester City School District schools. For example, in 2024-2025, 48.19% of 3rd graders at Rochester Prep were proficient in ELA, compared to just 21.54% in the district. In math, 95.18% of Rochester Prep's 3rd graders were proficient, versus 24.59% in the district. The school also outperforms the district for most student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students.

However, while Rochester Prep Charter School 2 outperforms the surrounding district, its own performance has declined over the years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2017-2018 to a 2-star rating in recent years. This suggests the school may be struggling to maintain its high academic standards. Additionally, the school spends significantly more per student ($16,283 in 2023-2024) compared to the district schools (e.g. School 54 at $33,223 per student), and has a higher student-teacher ratio (25.2 in 2023-2024) than the district schools (e.g. School 4 at 10.2).
