Summary

School 42-Abelard Reynolds is an elementary school in Rochester, NY, serving 420 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 859 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, School 42-Abelard Reynolds has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past decade, also earning a 0-star rating.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 15-31% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 13-17% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 50-57% and 51-60%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students. Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $10,617 to $31,376, there has been little to no improvement in academic outcomes over the past decade.

In contrast, nearby schools like Colebrook School, Listwood School, and Paddy Hill Elementary School significantly outperform School 42-Abelard Reynolds on state assessments, even though they serve more diverse student populations and have lower per-student spending. This suggests that factors beyond funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement, may be contributing to the differences in academic performance.
