Summary:
The Rhode Island Nurses Institute Middle College (RINI) is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Rhode Island. As the only school in the data set, RINI Middle College provides a unique look into the challenges and opportunities facing a high-need school in the state. With a total enrollment of 370 students, the school serves a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged population, with 85.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, RINI Middle College lags behind the state average in proficiency rates for both English Language Arts and Mathematics on standardized tests, with only 41.9% of 11th graders demonstrating proficiency in ELA compared to the state average of 49.1%. Despite spending more per student ($14,636) than the state average, the school's test scores suggest there is room for improvement in academic performance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 could be a strength, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, RINI Middle College appears to be a school serving a high-need population, but one that is struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes compared to the state as a whole. As part of the Rhode Island Nurses Institute Middle College district, which is ranked 43 out of 59 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces unique challenges that will require targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement.
