Achievement First Rhode Island operates 7 schools across Providence County, serving 2,527 students as of the most recent reporting period. The district experienced substantial enrollment growth of 15.7% from the prior year, indicating expanding demand for its schools within the urban locale.
The district maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 across 178 teachers, which aligns closely with state norms. However, academic performance metrics fall below state averages. Math proficiency stands at 26.6% compared to Rhode Island's state average of 33.2%, while reading proficiency reaches 30.7% against a state average of 39.4%. Chronic absenteeism is measured at 29.5%, representing a significant operational challenge.
Per-pupil spending of $10,667 is substantially lower than the state average of $22,238, creating a notable resource disparity. The district's total annual budget is $27.0 million, with revenue distributed across federal funding (15.9%), state support (54.9%), and local contributions (29.2%). The heavy reliance on state funding reflects the district's urban location and likely demographic composition.
The combination of rapid enrollment growth, below-average academic outcomes, elevated absenteeism rates, and constrained per-pupil resources suggests Achievement First Rhode Island operates within significant financial and operational constraints while managing increased student demand.
