Summary

School 8-Roberto Clemente is an elementary school in Rochester, NY that serves 448 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 859 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, School 8-Roberto Clemente has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school significantly underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.29% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 54.15% statewide, and only 2.22% were proficient in Math compared to 59.7% statewide. This pattern of low proficiency continues across all grade levels and subjects. The school serves a high-need student population, with over 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Ida B. Wells-Barnett Elementary School 34, generally outperform School 8-Roberto Clemente on academic measures.

Despite the high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, School 8-Roberto Clemente has not shown meaningful improvement in student outcomes over time. This suggests that simply increasing funding and resources may not be enough to drive change in a chronically low-performing, high-poverty urban school like this one. The data highlights the significant challenges faced by schools serving high-need student populations, underscoring the need for comprehensive, evidence-based interventions to support these types of schools.
