Summary:
Segue Institute for Learning is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Based on the available data, this school has consistently underperformed compared to other elementary schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half of Rhode Island schools in the past three academic years.
Segue Inst for Learning has struggled academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.4% of 4th and 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 34.3% and 30.8%, respectively. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates ranged from 5.3% in 8th grade to 25% in 6th grade, significantly lower than the state benchmarks.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,011 in the 2022-2023 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9, the academic performance at Segue Inst for Learning remains poor. This may suggest that the resources are not being effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population, which has a high percentage (77.09% in 2023-2024) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.
