Summary:
The 02906 zip code area in Providence, Rhode Island is home to just one elementary school - the Martin Luther King Elementary School. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and appears to be a high-need institution, with a large proportion of students from low-income families.
The Martin Luther King Elementary School has a mixed performance record, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the 86th and 121st out of 166 elementary schools in recent years. Its SchoolDigger rating of 2 out of 5 stars indicates below-average performance overall. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are higher than the Providence district average, they still fall short of the state average across all grade levels. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 28.6% is notably higher than the Providence district average of 14.2%.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,152 and a reasonable student-teacher ratio of 14.2, its academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be at play in driving student outcomes. The school's inconsistent performance over time, as reflected in its changing statewide ranking, is an area that warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to these fluctuations. Overall, the Martin Luther King Elementary School appears to be a high-need institution with room for improvement in its academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
