Summary:
RISE Prep Mayoral Academy is the sole elementary school located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 477 students. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer academically, as its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years and its student proficiency rates on standardized tests are generally below the state averages.
The school's RICAS (Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System) test scores show that proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 15% to 28% across grade levels, compared to the state average of 30.8% to 36.7%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates range from 15.8% to 27.6%, again falling short of the state average of 26.4% to 38.4%. While the school's NGSA Science proficiency rate of 27.9% is slightly above the state average of 25.7%, its overall academic performance remains a concern.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as 61.22% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The school's per-student spending of $13,252 for the 2022-2023 school year is relatively high, but it does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes. This raises questions about how the school is allocating its resources and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning and achievement.
