Summary:

Achievement First Rhode Island includes seven schools serving students from elementary through high school in Providence: four elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The results are mixed across schools and subjects, so families may find that the strongest option depends on the grade and subject they care about. The clearest takeaway is that performance varies sharply across the network, rather than showing one consistent pattern.

Achievement First Providence stands out among elementary schools, with 2025–26 proficiency of 34.9% in ELA and 44.6% in math—the highest in its group and 1.8 and 12.7 percentage points above state results. At the other end, Achievement First Envision Ele recorded 18.1% in ELA and 19.9% in math, trailing Providence by 16.8 and 24.7 points. AF Providence Mayoral Middle led the other middle school, AF Iluminar Mayoral Middle School, by 8.7 points in ELA, 8.3 in math and 4.9 in science. The high school combines a 92.8% graduation rate with 11th-grade science above the state, but its SAT math proficiency was 7.4%, versus 23.5% statewide.

Recent trends favor the middle schools on average: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, their results rose 4.8 points in ELA, 6.8 in math and 2.3 in science, while elementary averages slipped 1.6 points in ELA and 0.4 in math. Individual results differ: Providence elementary improved in ELA, while Envision declined; Providence Mayoral Middle improved in all three subjects, while Iluminar Mayoral’s ELA and science dipped. SchoolDigger ranked Providence elementary at the 60th percentile and Providence Mayoral Middle at the 66th in 2025–26; both improved from 2023–24. School profiles offer context, not an explanation: Providence elementary and Envision have similar enrollment and free/reduced-lunch rates, yet very different scores, while the middle-school leader has a higher lunch rate and lower student–teacher ratio than its counterpart.
