Summary:
The North Providence school district in Rhode Island consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with Greystone School and Birchwood Middle School standing out as the district's top performers, while North Providence High School faces some challenges in Mathematics test scores.
Greystone School has seen a decline in its state ranking, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 2-star rating, despite its generally strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Birchwood Middle School has consistently ranked among the top 25% of Rhode Island middle schools, maintaining a 3-star rating and outperforming the district and state averages in both subject areas.
The district as a whole faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 31.21% to 43.72% across the schools. Additionally, there are significant disparities in student-teacher ratios, from 9.6 at Centredale School to 17 at James L.
