Best Public Schools in Zip Code 14211

Summary:

The 14211 zip code area of Buffalo, New York is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area generally underperform the Buffalo City School District and New York state averages, a few standout schools demonstrate strong academic performance.

King Center Charter School outperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, ranking 1st among the schools in the 14211 zip code and 1800th out of 2439 elementary schools in New York state. Similarly, Persistence Preparatory Academy Charter School shows strong performance in Math and English Language Arts, improving its statewide ranking from 2410th to 1446th out of 2445 elementary schools.

Additionally, East Community School and Pathways Academy have lower four-year graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to the state average. These disparities in academic outcomes highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address educational inequities within the Buffalo City School District.
