Additionally, the International Charter School, a public charter elementary school, has higher proficiency rates than the Pawtucket district and Rhode Island state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the schools in the 02860 zip code and the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that students in this area are facing substantial educational challenges that need to be addressed. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools point to the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by many students in the area, which likely contributes to the overall lower academic performance and highlights the need for targeted interventions and support.
