Summary

Anna Murray-Douglass Academy is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving 782 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Rochester City School District. Despite significant per-student funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state.

Anna Murray-Douglass Academy struggles academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were just 26.83% in ELA and 32.18% in Math, compared to state averages of 54.15% and 59.7%, respectively. The school's rankings for subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students are all in the bottom 25-35% of New York elementary schools. Nearby district schools, such as School 23-Francis Parker, School 17-Enrico Fermi, and School 19-Dr. Charles T. Lunsford, also perform poorly, but generally outperform Anna Murray-Douglass Academy by 10-20 percentage points.

The charter schools in the area, such as Genesee Community Charter School-Flour City Campus and Citizenship And Science Academy Of Rochester Charter School, tend to outperform both Anna Murray-Douglass Academy and the other district schools, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Despite the school's high per-student spending of around $32,000, which is significantly higher than the state average, these additional resources do not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes for the students at Anna Murray-Douglass Academy.
