Summary:
RISE Prep Mayoral Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer in the state, as it consistently scores below the Rhode Island average on standardized tests across all grade levels.
The school's performance on the RICAS and NGSA tests is significantly below the state average, with only 21.6% of 3rd graders and 34.3% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 36.7% and 36.7% respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also low, ranging from 15.8% to 27.6% across grade levels, compared to the state averages of 26.4% to 38.4%. Additionally, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 76th out of 167 Rhode Island elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 126th out of 166 in 2024-2025.
With a high percentage of students (61.22%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, RISE Prep Mayoral Academy may face additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. The school's relatively high spending per student of $13,252 does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Overall, the data suggests that RISE Prep Mayoral Academy is struggling to provide a competitive educational experience for its students and may need to re-evaluate its strategies to better support student learning and development.
