Summary:

The Compass School is the sole elementary public charter school located in Kingston, Rhode Island, serving 216 students in grades K-8. This standout school has consistently ranked among the top 20% of elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 4-star rating from School Digger and achieving higher-than-average test scores, particularly in the upper grades.

The Compass School has a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, lower than the state average, and spends $12,947 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low percentage of students (11.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more affluent student population.

Overall, the data indicates that the Compass School is a high-performing elementary school that has consistently delivered strong academic results, particularly in the upper grades. The school's small class sizes and high spending per student may be contributing factors to its success, though the demographics of the student population raise questions about equity and access for students from diverse backgrounds.
