AF Providence Mayoral Middle

Summary:

AF Providence Mayoral Middle is a public charter middle school serving 405 students in grades 5-8 in Providence, Rhode Island. The school is part of the Achievement First Rhode Island district, which is ranked 41 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

AF Providence Mayoral Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district averages on RICAS (Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System) tests for English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.6% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 27.3% for the Achievement First Rhode Island district and 29.7% statewide for 5th grade. In Math, only 15.4% of all grades were proficient or better, compared to 21.4% for the district. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 31 out of 62 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 41 out of 64 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, AF Providence Mayoral Middle's performance is significantly lower than that of nearby AF Iluminar Mayoral Middle School, which outperformed it on both ELA and Math RICAS tests in 2023-2024. For example, 34.8% of all grades at AF Iluminar were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 22.6% at AF Providence Mayoral. The school's declining performance and high poverty rates, with 68.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, are areas of concern that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
