Best Public Schools in Zip Code 02838

Summary:

The 02838 zip code in Rhode Island is home to a single public elementary school, Northern Lincoln Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 503 students. The school is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked 18 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Northern Lincoln Elementary's academic performance is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, the school's NGSA (Next Generation Science Assessment) proficiency rate is slightly above the district's. The school's per-student spending is higher than the national average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9. However, a significant portion of the school's population, 44.93%, is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large number of students from low-income families.

Despite the school's performance challenges, its statewide SchoolDigger ranking has remained relatively stable over the past three school years, suggesting consistent performance. It is important to note that the Lincoln School District as a whole is performing better than the state average, which may indicate that the school's performance is influenced by factors beyond just the school itself, such as district-level policies, resources, and support. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, programs, and support systems could provide more insights into how to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
