Summary:
The 14213 zip code in Buffalo, New York is home to two high schools: International Preparatory School (The) and Lafayette International School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and appear to be underperforming compared to the Buffalo City School District and New York state averages across a variety of metrics.
Neither school stands out as a high performer, with both ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools by SchoolDigger. Both schools have a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is lower than the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, the schools perform well below the district and state averages on Regents/Common Core exams across all subject areas. Despite higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools are still struggling to achieve better outcomes for their students. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools, over 90%, suggest that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the challenges they face in providing a high-quality education.
