Summary:
The middle-school list for Providence includes one school, Providence Preparatory Charter, serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 244 students. Located in Providence, Rhode Island, it has no local peer schools in this dataset for a school-to-school comparison. In 2025–26, proficiency was below the state rate in every reported subject, making the most important finding that students’ results lagged statewide across ELA, math, and science.
There is no top or bottom school among local peers because Providence Preparatory Charter is the only school listed. Math was its relative bright spot: 16.6% were proficient, compared with 13.7% in ELA and 12.0% in science; its math gap with the state was also smallest, at 15.3 percentage points, versus 19.4 points in ELA and 19.1 in science. Grade results reveal important variation: grade 7 math was 20.8%, 7.1 points below the state, while grade 5 math was under 5%, more than 26.8 points below. ELA ranged from 8.8% in grade 8 to 18.0% in grade 7; the two reported science results were closer, at 11.4% in grade 5 and 12.5% in grade 8.
Results improved in math and science but declined in ELA from 2024–25 to 2025–26: math rose from 10.9% to 16.6%, science from 8.7% to 12.0%, and ELA fell from 16.5% to 13.7%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 49th of 68 in 2025–26, at the 28th percentile with two stars, up from 52nd of 66 and the 21st percentile with one star in 2024–25; its 2023–24 standing was 43rd of 64, at the 33rd percentile with two stars. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 99.59% in 2024–25, and the student–teacher ratio was not provided; these are context, not explanations for the scores. With only one school listed and no prior-year state comparison, peer differences and changes in the school’s gap with the state cannot be assessed.
