Summary:
The International Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the International Charter District located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. With a total enrollment of 380 students, the school has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages.
International Charter School's academic performance has been a concern, with only 21.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 25.6% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's ranking has also declined, dropping from 125 out of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 111 out of 167 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past two school years, indicating significant room for improvement.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,934 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8 to 1, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with over 55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic challenges and implementing effective strategies to support student learning will be crucial for improving the performance of International Charter School and the International Charter District.
