Summary:
The Nuestro Mundo Public Charter S is the sole elementary school located within the Nuestro Mundo Public Charter district in Rhode Island. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Nuestro Mundo Public Charter S has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Rhode Island elementary schools, with proficiency rates on standardized tests that are significantly below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 20% in ELA and 12.1% in Math, compared to state averages of 34.3% in 4th grade ELA, 33.1% in 6th grade ELA, and 26.4% in 8th grade Math. The school's science proficiency rate for all grades was only 5.3%.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 73.49% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. While the school's per-student spending is relatively high at $16,682 for the 2022-2023 school year, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the unique needs of the school's student population and improve academic performance.
