Summary:

The 10 public schools in East Providence include seven elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school, serving students from elementary through high-school grades. Elementary-school averages are above state results in ELA, math and science, while the two middle schools average below state in all three. The clearest takeaway for families is that area averages mask substantial differences between individual schools, especially at the elementary level.

Myron J. Francis Elementary leads the elementary schools in every subject, with 55.7% proficient in ELA, 58.0% in math and 62.7% in science; those scores are 14.7, 8.0 and 21.0 percentage points above the next-highest school in each subject. At the other end, Silver Spring School has the lowest elementary ELA and science results (22.3% and 13.3%), while Emma G. Whiteknact School is lowest in math (20.6%). Edward Martin Middle leads the middle schools in all subjects, scoring 7.3–9.5 points above Riverside Middle School, the lower-scoring school in each. At East Providence High, 10th-grade PSAT ELA is above state (61.3% versus 56.0%), while the reported SAT and science comparisons are below state.

Recent changes are mixed: elementary-school averages slipped 3.4 points in math but rose 1.5 in science, while middle-school averages gained 5.0 points in math and fell 1.2 in science. SchoolDigger rankings also moved in different directions: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Kent Heights School rose 26 percentile points, while Silver Spring fell 26 and Whiteknact fell 22. Similar reported conditions do not predict similar results: Kent Heights and Silver Spring have comparable FRL rates (56.18% and 55.16%) and student-teacher ratios (13.2 and 12.3), yet Kent scores 18.7–24.8 points higher across subjects. Francis, the top elementary school, has a 15.6 ratio, while smaller Whiteknact has a ratio of 12.0; these figures are context, not explanations for achievement. State comparisons over time are unavailable for most elementary and middle results.
