Leviton Dual Language School

Q: Is Leviton Dual Language School a good school?

Leviton Dual Language School ranks 91 st of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Leviton Dual Language School is a public elementary school in Providence, Rhode Island, serving 272 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.

Leviton Dual Language School consistently outperforms the Providence district and, in some cases, the state average in academic proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, 26.1% of Leviton's students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 15.3% for the Providence district. In mathematics, Leviton had 37.8% proficiency, compared to 14.7% for Providence. The school has also shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 153rd out of 168 Rhode Island elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 91st out of 166 in 2023-2024.

However, Leviton Dual Language School faces challenges compared to nearby Highlander, Nuestro Mundo Public Charter, and Achievement First charter schools, which tend to have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and mathematics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Leviton, ranging from 86.03% to 88.93% over the past three school years, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance compared to the charter schools in the area.

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.
