Summary:

Providence, Rhode Island’s capital city, has 20 elementary schools, with 2025–26 all-grades English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics results reported for every school and science results for most. The school-group averages were 20.5% in ELA and 22.5% in mathematics, compared with state figures of 33.1% and 31.9%; the average for the 18 schools with exact science scores was 18.1%, versus 31.1% statewide. Mathematics was relatively strongest against the state, while science had the largest shortfall. The most important takeaway is that above-state results are found at a few schools, but the typical Providence school in this group is below state proficiency in every subject.

Vartan Gregorian Elementary School is the clearest standout, leading in ELA (48.3%), mathematics (50.0%), and science (44.9%). Its ELA and mathematics results exceed the next-highest school, Robert F. Kennedy Elementary School, by 14.8 and 14.4 percentage points; in science, Vartan leads Martin Luther King Elementary School by 13 points. Kennedy also exceeds state ELA and mathematics results, while MLK scores 31.9% in science. At the lower end, Webster Avenue School has the lowest mathematics result (8.1%), Alfred Lima Senior Elementary School the lowest ELA result (7.6%), and Mary E. Fogarty Elementary School has science below 5%. SchoolDigger ranks Webster 159th of 163 statewide and Fogarty 158th.

Recent results are mixed, with group averages declining even as they moved closer to the supplied Providence district averages: ELA fell 1.6 points and mathematics 1.8 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26. MLK bucked the ELA trend, gaining 9.4 points, while Vartan Gregorian fell 8.5 points in ELA and 7.3 in mathematics. Grade-level leaders also vary: MLK led fifth-grade mathematics, while Vartan led fourth-grade mathematics. School characteristics do not neatly predict results: Vartan’s student–teacher ratio is 15.5, Kennedy’s is 19.6, and both perform strongly; Bailey’s mathematics result is 32.0% alongside a reported free/reduced-lunch rate of 88.96%. These rates are context, not explanations for results. Schools have different grade spans, and Asa Messer has no listed science score.
