Summary:
The 02905 zip code area in Rhode Island is home to 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, spread across the Providence, Cranston, and several public charter school districts. While the overall academic performance of these schools is below the state average, a few standout institutions, such as Edward S. Rhodes School in Cranston and Robert L. Bailey IV in Providence, demonstrate higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to their peers.
The data reveals that the Providence school district as a whole struggles with test scores, with most of its schools in the 02905 area performing well below state averages. In contrast, the two Cranston schools, Edgewood Highland and Edward S. Rhodes School, stand out as the highest-performing institutions in the data set, outperforming the state averages in both ELA and Math. This suggests that the Cranston district may be providing more effective support for its students.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 39.32% to 90.86%, indicate that these communities face significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. However, the data does not show a clear correlation between factors like spending per student or student-teacher ratios and academic achievement, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be playing a more significant role in student outcomes.
