What stands out at Leviton Dual Language School
Leviton Dual Language School is a high-poverty, mid-sized elementary school in Providence, Rhode Island, enrolling 288 students.
Class loads run heavy: 22.2:1 is larger than about 97% of Rhode Island schools and 61% above the 13.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 75.4% of students qualify for free meals, 90% above the Rhode Island average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 288 puts it in the smaller third of Rhode Island schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 308 Rhode Island schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 23 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Rhode Island schools statewide, it ranks #22, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (91% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 18/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 480 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 41.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 16.8% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Providence's elementary schools, it stands alongside Alfred Lima Sr. El School (662 students): Leviton Dual Language School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (22.2:1 vs 16.1:1).
