Urban Collaborative

Summary:

The Urban Collaborative Program is the sole public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Urban Collaborative district in Providence, Rhode Island. With an enrollment of 132 students, the school appears to be struggling academically based on the available data.

The Urban Collaborative Program is ranked 62 out of 66 middle schools in Rhode Island for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on standardized tests is very low, with only 6.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) across all grades, and just 9.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA. The school's science proficiency rate for all grades in 2024-2025 was only 8.3%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Rhode Island middle schools over the past several years.

Despite the high spending per student ($21,177) and a student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, the Urban Collaborative Program is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty (100% free/reduced lunch rate), and relatively small enrollment suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and additional support from the district and state to improve student outcomes.
