Henry J. Winters School

Summary:

Henry J. Winters School is an elementary school located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 513 students. The school is part of the Pawtucket School District, which is ranked 45 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Henry J. Winters School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Rhode Island elementary schools, with only 16.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.5% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly below the state and district averages. The school's performance on the Next Generation Science Assessment is also below the district average, with 21.8% of students proficient or better. This low academic performance may be attributed to the high percentage of students (60.04% to 78.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Curvin-McCabe School and Agnes E. Little School, which are also part of the Pawtucket School District, perform better than Henry J. Winters School on academic measures. Additionally, The Learning Community, a public charter school located just outside the Pawtucket district, outperforms Henry J. Winters School on academic measures as well. These comparisons suggest that the challenges faced by Henry J. Winters School may be specific to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader Pawtucket school district.

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.
