Summary:

The 14213 zip code area of Buffalo, New York is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, with a public charter school, West Buffalo Charter School, standing out as the top performer, while the Buffalo City School District schools struggle with low proficiency rates.

The data reveals that West Buffalo Charter School significantly outperforms the other schools on state assessments, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. This public charter school also spends the least per student ($12,318) compared to the other schools in the area. In contrast, the Native American Magnet school has the highest per-student spending at $31,554, but its academic performance, while better than the Buffalo City School District schools, is not as strong as the charter school.

Across all the schools, the data shows extremely high rates of economic disadvantage, with 91-94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the high poverty levels in the area are a significant factor impacting student achievement. The wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 9.7 to 15.3 students per teacher, may also contribute to the performance differences observed between the schools.
