Summary:
The 14608 zip code area of Rochester, New York is home to two elementary schools that are part of the Rochester City School District, which is ranked 859 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Of the two schools, School 19-Dr. Charles T. Lunsford appears to be the standout, consistently outperforming School 5-John Williams across a variety of metrics. School 19 has a higher SchoolDigger ranking, higher proficiency rates on state assessments, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, both schools perform significantly below state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often less than half the state average.
The data suggests that the Rochester City School District is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools. Addressing the root causes of this underperformance will likely require a multifaceted approach targeting funding, instructional quality, and broader socioeconomic factors.
