RISE Prep Mayoral Academy

Q: Is RISE Prep Mayoral Academy a good school?

RISE Prep Mayoral Academy ranks 99 th of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

RISE Prep Mayoral Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 425 students in grades K-8 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, a district ranked 30 out of 60 in the state with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While RISE Prep Mayoral Academy's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.1%) and Mathematics (27.5%) are lower than the state averages, the school outperforms nearby Woonsocket public schools. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like North Smithfield Elementary and John J. McLaughlin Cumberland. RISE Prep Mayoral Academy's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 9th out of 169 Rhode Island elementary schools in 2018-2019 but dropping to 99th out of 166 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.29% to 98.94%, indicates a high-need student population, in contrast with the more affluent student populations at nearby North Smithfield Elementary and John J. McLaughlin Cumberland schools. Despite these challenges, RISE Prep Mayoral Academy's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are comparable to the nearby Woonsocket public schools. The school's past success suggests it has the potential to improve and better support its students, but identifying and addressing the root causes of the recent decline will be crucial.

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.
