Summary:

The Highlander district in Rhode Island is home to a single high school, Highlander Secondary Charter S, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, this school appears to be struggling academically, ranking 45th out of 60 high schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Highlander Secondary Charter S has consistently performed below the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.9% to 33.9% in ELA and 5.1% to 18.4% in Mathematics across different grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.0% in 2022-2023 is also lower than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 87.76% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $11,442 per student in the 2020-2021 school year and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The persistent low performance and widening achievement gaps suggest that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to their struggles.
