Summary:
The 14304 zip code area of Niagara Falls, New York is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Niagara Falls City School District, except for one public charter elementary school, Niagara Charter School. The data reveals a complex educational landscape, with significant performance differences between the charter school and the district schools.
Niagara Charter School stands out as a high-performing school, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that far exceed the state averages and the district schools. In contrast, the district schools generally perform well below the state averages on the New York State Assessments. However, there is some variation within the district, with Geraldine J. Mann School showing relatively stronger performance, particularly in Math, compared to its peers.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage across the schools, with free and reduced-price lunch eligibility ranging from 46.67% to 92.9%. This likely contributes to the overall lower academic performance of the district schools. Additionally, there are differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may also be a factor in their varying levels of academic achievement.
