Summary:
Rumford’s supplied school list contains one school, Myron J. Francis Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 5 in the East Providence district. It enrolls 391 students, and the reported student–teacher ratio is 15.6. In 2025–26, the school’s results were above Rhode Island’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science—the most important takeaway for families comparing local results.
There is no second listed school to rank against it, so the clearest standouts are by subject and grade. Across all grades, Myron J. Francis reached 55.7% in ELA, 58.0% in math, and 62.7% in science, exceeding state results by 22.6, 26.1, and 31.6 percentage points, respectively; it also outperformed district results by 24.9, 24.5, and 34.9 points. Science was its strongest relative subject. Results were less even by grade: fourth grade was the school’s lowest in both ELA (39.7%) and math (45.3%), though still above state rates by 7.3 and 10.2 points. Grade 5 ELA was strongest at 65.7%, while grade 3 math led at 69.4%. SchoolDigger rates the school four stars and ranks it 22nd of 163 Rhode Island schools, in the 87th percentile.
Recent results show improvement in ELA and science but a notable math decline: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 3.3 points to 55.7%, science rose 12.0 points to 62.7%, and math fell 10.8 points to 58.0%. The school remained above district results in all three subjects, although its district advantage narrowed in math and widened in science and ELA. SchoolDigger’s rank moved from 18th in 2023–24 to 16th in 2024–25 and then 22nd in 2025–26. The reported free/reduced-price-lunch rate was 35.81% in 2024–25; this is useful context, not an explanation of results. Since only one school is listed, school-to-school comparisons are not available.
