Segue Inst for Learning

Summary:

Segue Inst for Learning is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Central Falls, Rhode Island, a district that ranks 54 out of 60 in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. With 307 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Rhode Island elementary schools over the past 4 years, also receiving a 1-star rating.

Segue Inst for Learning faces significant challenges in improving student academic performance, despite its high per-student spending and relatively small class sizes. The school's consistently low rankings and proficiency rates, with only 12.9% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 10.7% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 37.8% and 39.1% respectively, suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 60.73% to 81.11% over the past 3 years, likely contributes to these challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby The Learning Community charter school outperforms Segue Inst for Learning in both ELA and Math proficiency, despite serving a similar demographic of students. For example, in 2023-2024, 27.7% of 3rd graders at The Learning Community were proficient in ELA compared to only 11.4% at Segue Inst for Learning. This highlights the potential for improvement through the adoption of more effective educational strategies at Segue Inst for Learning.

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.
