Summary:
The 02863 zip code in Central Falls, Rhode Island is home to 6 elementary schools serving grades K-8, including The Learning Community, Ella Risk School, Veterans Memorial Elementary, Segue Inst for Learning, Raices Dual Language Academy, and G. Harold Hunt School. The data reveals significant challenges facing these schools, with stark disparities in academic achievement compared to state averages.
Among the standout schools, The Learning Community, a public charter school, has the highest statewide ranking and stronger academic performance than the other district schools. Raices Dual Language Academy and Segue Inst for Learning, another public charter school, also show relatively stronger academic results. However, overall test scores across the district remain well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data also reveals that all the schools in the Central Falls district have extremely high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. While the schools vary widely in per-student spending, from $15,011 at Segue Inst for Learning to $38,260 at G. Harold Hunt School, this does not appear to directly correlate with academic performance, suggesting that other factors, such as instructional quality and school leadership, likely play a significant role.
