Summary

School 33-John James Audubon is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 889 students. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

School 33-John James Audubon consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 20% in 3rd grade ELA, 9.65% in 4th grade ELA, and 6.6% in 5th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 54.16%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students.

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $33,274 in the 2023-2024 school year, the student-teacher ratio is relatively high at 12.8, suggesting that the additional funding may not be effectively translated into smaller class sizes or more personalized instruction. Nearby School 22-Lincoln School, School 45-Mary McLeod Bethune, and School 52-Frank Fowler Dow also perform poorly on academic measures, but Rochester Prep Charter School 3 outperforms the district schools, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in improving student outcomes in this area.
