Mary E. Fogarty Elementary School

Summary:

Mary E. Fogarty Elementary School is a public elementary school in Providence, Rhode Island, serving 390 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Providence school district, which is ranked 48 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $16,495 per student, Mary E. Fogarty Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Rhode Island, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 5.5% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state and district averages. This trend has persisted for several years, with the school ranking in the bottom 5% of Rhode Island elementary schools since the 2013-2014 school year. The school's high percentage of students (86.41%) from economically disadvantaged backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance.

When comparing Mary E. Fogarty Elementary to nearby schools, the differences in academic performance are stark. For example, Lillian Feinstein Elementary School, located just 0.72 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 15.3% and 15.2% of students proficient or better, respectively. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from successful strategies at higher-performing schools and implement them at Mary E. Fogarty to drive academic improvement.

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.
