Summary:
The 14210 zip code area of Buffalo, New York is home to 4 elementary schools serving students in grades K-6. These schools, which include South Buffalo Charter School, Southside Elementary School, PS 27 Hillery Park Academy, and Bilingual Center, serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the schools, South Buffalo Charter School stands out as the highest performer, with the best overall proficiency rates on state assessments. However, even this school has room for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Bilingual Center struggles the most, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in both Math and ELA.
Despite the high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios across the schools, the data suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes. The stark disparities in performance indicate that factors such as school leadership, curriculum, and teaching practices may be playing a significant role in the differences observed. Targeted interventions and a focus on best practices could potentially lead to improved outcomes for students in this area served by South Buffalo Charter School and the Buffalo City School District.
