Middle Schools in Beacon Charter School

The Beacon Charter School district in Rhode Island has only one middle school, Founders Academy, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 153 students. While the district is ranked 34th out of 60 in the state, Founders Academy's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests ranging from just 5.4% to 20% across different subject areas and grade levels.

Founders Academy's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 41st out of 60 Rhode Island middle schools in 2021-2022 to 52nd out of 64 in 2023-2024. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is slightly higher than the state average, and it spends $10,049 per student, which is on par with the state average. However, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.06% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic achievement.

Overall, the data suggests that Founders Academy is a struggling middle school within the Beacon Charter School district, with significant room for improvement in academic performance and student outcomes. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the district or state would be necessary to better understand the school's challenges and identify potential areas for intervention and support.
