Orlo Avenue School ranks 74 th of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Orlo Avenue School is an elementary school located in East Providence, Rhode Island, serving 239 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, moving from the bottom quartile in the state to the middle quartile in the most recent school year.

Orlo Avenue School outperformed the East Providence district average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades, and it performed better than the state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics remains a concern, as it lags behind the district and state averages. The school's fluctuating free and reduced lunch rates suggest that it may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the diverse needs of its student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Orlo Avenue School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other elementary schools in the East Providence district, such as Kent Heights School and Silver Spring School. However, the school lags behind the high-performing Myron J. Francis Elementary School, which is located just outside the East Providence district. The charter schools in the Providence area, such as The Hope Academy and SouthSide Elementary Charter, have significantly lower academic performance compared to Orlo Avenue School.

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.
