Best Public Schools in Zip Code 02909


Summary:

The 02909 zip code area of Providence, Rhode Island is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 4 middle schools, with a mix of public and public charter schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with the public charter schools, such as Achievement First Providence and AF Providence Mayoral Middle, consistently outperforming the traditional public schools in the area on RICAS/English Language Arts and RICAS/Mathematics tests.

The standout schools in the data set are Asa Messer Elementary School, which has the highest performance on RICAS tests, and the two public charter middle schools, AF Providence Mayoral Middle and Paul Cuffee Middle School, which also exceed the Providence district and Rhode Island state averages. In contrast, the traditional public schools, such as Governor Christopher DelSesto, Anthony Carnevale Elementary, and Webster Avenue School, struggle to meet academic benchmarks.

The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 69.74% to 90.73%, suggest that the 02909 zip code area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance of the traditional public schools. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicates that resource allocation and staffing levels may also play a role in the schools' academic outcomes.
