Canisius College Partner School Removed From State Review List

The Canisius College School of Education and Human Services is actively engaged in the community with its partnerships with Buffalo City and Catholic Schools. The programs include staff and parent training and direct service as student teachers. Among the college’s partnership schools is Hamlin Park School #74, which was recently removed from New York State’s list of underperforming schools.


The decision, which was made by the New York State Board of Regents, was based on improved English and math scores, and is the result of a program that features a longer school year and school day, smaller class sizes and greater use of math, reading and technology coaches.

Throughout New York State, 25 schools were removed from the list and five were added. Forty-three schools remain on the list.

Hamlin Park School #74 is an elementary school (grades K-5) located on Donaldson Road in Buffalo.

Canisius College is one of 28 Jesuit colleges in the nation and the premier private college in Western New York. Canisius prepares leaders - intelligent, caring, faithful individuals able to pursue and promote excellence in their professions, their communities and their service to humanity.
