Summary

Waterfront Elementary School is a public elementary school in Buffalo, NY, serving grades PK-9 with a total enrollment of 771 students. The school is part of the Buffalo City School District, which is ranked 830 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waterfront Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,800-2,400 out of around 2,400 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the Buffalo City School District and New York state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranges from 13.33% to 36.67%, compared to the district's 26.26%-31.99% and the state's 50.86%-56.61%. In Math, the school's proficiency rates range from 13.85% to 31.52%, compared to the district's 23.35%-33.59% and the state's 51.2%-59.7%.

The nearby schools within the Buffalo City School District, such as Marva J Daniel Futures Preparatory School, Frank A Sedita School #30, and Herman Badillo Bilingual Academy, also perform poorly, with rankings and test scores similar to or even lower than Waterfront Elementary School. This indicates that the challenges faced by Waterfront Elementary School are not unique and are likely systemic issues within the district.

Monday, February 3, 2020

Teachers are suspension happy and would rather get rid of students than problem solve, offer no solutions. The assistant principal there, Miss Dias, is highly combative and argumentative, will make already tense situations worse with her attitude, absolutely ridiculous behavior for a principal to display. Also, racial epithets being thrown around are not considered a serious offense so race relations at this school are not good. Would not recommend. Close Quote
