Summary

School 35-Pinnacle is an elementary school in Rochester, New York, serving 382 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 859 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite significant per-student spending of $31,421 in 2023-2024, School 35-Pinnacle consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.55% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 54.15% statewide and 21.54% in the district. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of New York elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Rochester City School District, such as School 19-Dr. Charles T. Lunsford, School 28-Henry Hudson, and School 23-Francis Parker, generally outperform School 35-Pinnacle on academic measures, even though they serve similarly disadvantaged student populations. Additionally, two nearby charter schools, Genesee Community Charter School and Innova Girls Academy Charter School, demonstrate significantly stronger academic performance compared to School 35-Pinnacle.
