2010/2011 is Beacon's eighth year in operation and our goals are larger than ever!

This is our second year where the enrollment is at capacity. In fact, we have more students than ever as enrollment hovers in the low 230's!

Last year Beacon outperformed the state in NECAP tests in reading, writing, algebra and geometry. Our performance in the reading NECAP test is now legendary as no other charter school in RI has ever been the top performing district in the state. Our 98% rate in meeting the standard was only beaten by Classical High School's 99%. Imagine that, a small arts based charter school in Woonsocket has rivaled the capitol city's Classical High! Academics continues to be a greater and greater focus of the administration and faculty as we have added more capacity to the math, science and reading departments.

In 2010 we were awarded by the RI Dept. of Health as their Community Partnership Award winner. This was a great acknowledgement for us. Additionally, Beacon was the Technical Theater award winner at 2010 Dramafest and the US News and World Report's Bronze medals for being on the "Best of US High Schools" list for 2008 and 2009 are still great achievements.

Our students continue to apply to and gain acceptance to top colleges and universities. To see a complete list please click here.

Even though enrollment is at an all time high, we're still taking applications. The applications for enrollment are available in the Apply section of this site. Links to all teacher e-mail addresses are available in the Faculty Contact section in order for parents to achieve easier communication with their child's teachers.

Fusing Art and Career/Tech Education
The Beacon Charter School offers a unique and exciting education concept by combining the arts and business into a secondary-level career and technical curriculum that is like no other in the state!
