Summary:
East Providence, Rhode Island has one public high school, East Providence High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has maintained a consistent middle-of-the-pack performance, ranking 32nd out of 60 Rhode Island high schools in 2022-2023 and 33rd out of 60/61 in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, with a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, East Providence High School generally performs below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on standardized tests. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 49.8% in SAT/ELA (vs. state average of 51.6%) and 12.9% in SAT/Math (vs. state average of 23.3%). The school's science proficiency rates on the NGSA test were also below the district average in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 84.0%, which is slightly below the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $15,584 for the 2022-2023 school year (above the state average) and a student-teacher ratio of 16:1 (slightly lower than typical), the academic performance does not appear to be significantly better than the state average. This may be influenced by the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 48.97% in 2023-2024, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
