Summary:
The International Charter school district in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, contains a single elementary school, International Charter School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 382 students. While the school's performance and metrics are compared to the state-wide averages for Rhode Island elementary schools, the data indicates that International Charter School is a low-performing institution that is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students.
International Charter School is ranked 114 out of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting its performance is below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages for all grade levels, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates of 24.6% in ELA and 29.7% in Math, compared to state averages of 36.7% and 38.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (48.43%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's below-average performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($17,174 in the 2022-2023 school year) and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (15.2:1) than the typical recommended ratio of 15:1 or lower. These factors raise questions about the efficient use of resources and the effectiveness of the school's educational programs, as the data suggests that significant improvements are needed to address the academic struggles of the students at International Charter School.
