Blackstone Academy


Summary:

Blackstone Academy Charter is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, with a total enrollment of 351 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Rhode Island high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

Academically, Blackstone Academy Charter struggles, with significantly lower proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 34.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient in ELA, and just 9.6% were proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 47.8% and 21.7%, respectively. The school's 10th-grade students also had lower proficiency rates on the PSAT10 in both subjects. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate on the NGSA for all grades was only 7.5%.

Despite a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1, Blackstone Academy serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 64.39% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school faces significant challenges in supporting its students' academic success, and further investigation into the school's practices and resources may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and develop a plan to better serve its students.
