Summary:
The International Charter School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-5 in the International Charter district in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. With a total enrollment of 382 students, the school is ranked 40th out of 60 districts in the state and has a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data analysis reveals that International Charter School is facing significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics compared to the state averages over the past two school years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency ranged from 19.3% to 31.1%, while the state's ranged from 30.8% to 36.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency ranged from 12.5% to 39.3%, compared to the state's 31.6% to 38.4%. The school's science proficiency rate for all grades in 2024-2025 was also low at 21.7%, declining from the previous year's 36.2%.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,174 and a small student-teacher ratio of 15.2, the data suggests that International Charter School is struggling to effectively allocate its resources and support its students, particularly the 48.43% who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's consistently low academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels indicates a need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to address the root causes of its underperformance and improve outcomes for its students.
