International Charter School

Summary:

International Charter School is a public charter elementary school in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, serving 380 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school has seen some positive changes, such as increased spending per student and a more favorable student-teacher ratio, it continues to face academic challenges compared to state and local averages.

International Charter School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the RICAS exam are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 21.2%, compared to the state average of 32.2%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 25.6%, compared to the state average of 34.9%. However, the school's science proficiency rate, as measured by the NGSA, is higher than its ELA and Math proficiency rates, reaching 36.2% in 2023-2024. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 21.12% in 2020-2021 to 55.26% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, Agnes E. Little School, Fallon Memorial School, and Ella Risk School in Pawtucket and Central Falls have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. However, International Charter School outperforms the nearby Ella Risk School and Veterans Memorial Elementary, which are both in the Central Falls school district and have significantly lower proficiency rates.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
