Summary

Achievement First Iluminar is a public charter elementary school in Cranston, Rhode Island, serving 470 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Achievement First Rhode Island district, which is ranked 33 out of 60 districts in the state.

Achievement First Iluminar has shown a mixed academic performance on RICAS tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.8%) and Mathematics (32.2%) in the 2024-2025 school year that were higher than the Achievement First Rhode Island district's scores but lower than the state averages. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 12th out of 169 Rhode Island elementary schools in 2018-2019 but then declining to 100th out of 166 schools in 2024-2025. However, the school performs relatively well in serving certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-20 for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

Compared to nearby schools, Achievement First Iluminar's performance is generally stronger than traditional public schools like Arlington School and Gladstone Street School, but it lags behind the nearby Leviton Dual Language School. The school's fluctuations in performance and its variable free and reduced-price lunch rates suggest that the student population's socioeconomic composition may be a significant factor in its academic outcomes.
