Hoxsie School ranks 110 th of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hoxsie School is an elementary school in Warwick, Rhode Island, serving 258 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While part of the Warwick School District, which is ranked 28 out of 60 districts in the state, Hoxsie School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Rhode Island elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoxsie School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 23.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 22.6% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the Warwick district averages of 28% and 29.1%, respectively. Additionally, Hoxsie School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (47.67%) compared to nearby schools like Park School (31.16%), Robertson School (33.1%), and Warwick Neck School (40.07%). Hoxsie School also has a higher student-teacher ratio (14.2) compared to some nearby schools, such as Park School (13.2), Lippitt School (10.2), and Norwood School (12.4).

These factors suggest that Hoxsie School may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed, and the school may need targeted interventions and additional support to address its academic underperformance, high percentage of students from low-income families, and potential resource allocation issues. Comparing Hoxsie School to nearby schools in the Warwick School District highlights the need for focused efforts to improve student success at Hoxsie.

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.
