Summary:
The 02894 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school - all part of the Chariho school district. Among these, Chariho High School stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 10 high schools in Rhode Island. In contrast, the Chariho Alternative Learning A school lags significantly behind the other schools in the area.
Chariho High School outperforms the state average on several key test score metrics, including SAT English Language Arts (69.3% vs 47.8% state average) and SAT Mathematics (34.6% vs 21.7% state average) for 11th graders. The school also has strong PSAT10 scores, with 81.1% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 51.8% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 58.7% and 24.5% respectively. In contrast, the Chariho Alternative Learning A school has much lower test scores across the board, with only 9.5% proficient or better in ELA and 5.9% in Science, compared to the district averages of 45.7% and 50.6% respectively.
The data also reveals a stark contrast in the free/reduced lunch rates between the high/middle schools (20.13% and 22.84% respectively) and the alternative school (59.38%), suggesting the alternative school may serve a more economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the similar per-student spending levels between the high school and middle school ($14,465 vs $14,721) indicate the district is allocating resources fairly evenly, but the lack of spending data for the alternative school makes it difficult to assess if it is receiving adequate funding.
