Enterprise Charter School

Summary:

Enterprise Charter School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Buffalo, New York, with 362 students. Unfortunately, this public charter school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 1729 and 2427 out of around 2,400 schools over the past several years.

Enterprise Charter School significantly underperforms the state and Buffalo City School District averages on New York state assessments in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, only 2.08% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 42.6%, and only 4.35% were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 53.93%. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students. With extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83-94%, Enterprise Charter School spends between $13,612 and $19,432 per student, which is higher than the nearby district schools, but this does not translate to better academic outcomes.

Despite the high spending, Enterprise Charter School has shown little to no improvement in its academic performance over the past 10 years, with its statewide ranking remaining in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools. Nearby district schools, such as Bennett Park Montessori, Waterfront Elementary, and Harriet Ross Tubman Academy, also struggle academically but generally outperform Enterprise Charter School on state assessments. The charter school Elmwood Village Charter School Days Park, located about a mile away, significantly outperforms Enterprise Charter School and the district schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
