Summary

Rochester Prep Charter School 3 is an elementary school serving 766 students in grades K-8 in Rochester, New York. The school is part of the Rochester Prep Charter School District, which is ranked 631 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Rochester Prep Charter School 3 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools over the past 5 years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and math below the state average. However, the school's performance is still better than nearby School 8-Roberto Clemente, School 45-Mary McLeod Bethune, and School 9-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which are part of the Rochester City School District and have even lower proficiency rates.

The school serves a high-needs student population, with 90.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic students, it struggles with its special education and economically disadvantaged students, who perform significantly worse than the state average. The school's high student-teacher ratio and above-average spending per student suggest it may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and staffing model to better support student learning and close achievement gaps.
