Summary:
ZIP code 42450 has one school, Providence Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolling 299 students. Its reported 2025–26 results show a mixed picture: grade 6 math is above the state rate, while most other reported results are below it. The central finding is that grade 6 math stands out as the school’s clearest strength, but it is not matched by reading results.
Within this one-school area, grade 6 is the strongest reported grade in both math and reading: 48% were proficient in math, 6 points above the state’s 42%, and 52% in reading, 2 points below the state’s 54%. The weakest result is grade 3 reading, with 21% proficient compared with 49% statewide, a 28-point gap. Across grades 4–6, math averaged 34% at Providence versus 43% statewide, while reading averaged 36% versus 52% statewide. Grade 4 science was 23% against 40% statewide, and grade 5 Editing and Mechanics was 24% against 48%.
Math results improved overall across grades 4–6: Providence’s average rose from 26% in 2024–25 to 34% in 2025–26, while the state average stayed at 43%; the gap narrowed from 17 to 9 points. Reading was less encouraging: across grades 5–6, Providence averaged 38% in both years, while the state average rose from 51% to 53%. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 619th of 685 schools (10th percentile, 0 stars) in 2024–25 to 581st of 684 (15th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26, though results varied by grade and subject. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 21% at Providence, below the district’s 28% and the state’s 24%. Context measures include a 19.9 student-teacher ratio and 77% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. The state suppressed grade 3 math, grade 5 writing, and grade 5 social studies results, so those values are unknown; with only one school listed, there are no local school-to-school comparisons.
