Summary

Blackstone Valley Prep E. 2 is a K–4 elementary school in Cumberland, Rhode Island, with 426 students in the Blackstone Valley Prep A RI Mayoral Academy district. In 2025–2026, 34% of students were proficient in ELA and 38% in math. Its clearest strength is math: proficiency was higher than the state rate of 32% and the nearby-school average of 23%.

Compared with nearby schools, E. 2 had the third-highest math result and fourth-highest ELA result among 11 schools. Its math proficiency was 15 points above the nearby average, while ELA was 9 points higher. Against the district, E. 2 was 4 points ahead in math and essentially level in ELA; compared with the state, it was 6 points ahead in math and about 1 point ahead in ELA. The nearby Blackstone Valley Prep had higher ELA proficiency, 39% versus 34%, while E. 2 was ahead in math, 38% versus 36%. Grade-level results show a concern and a strength: grade 4 ELA was 28%, 5 points below the state and 6 below the district, while grade 4 math was 41%, above both.

Results have recovered from a low in 2023–2024, but the longer-term gains are modest: ELA rose from 32% in 2022–2023 to 34% in 2025–2026, while math ended nearly unchanged at 38% after falling to 21% and then rebounding. SchoolDigger ranked E. 2 76th of 163 schools, at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars; its percentile rose from 27 in 2023–2024. Its student–teacher ratio was 13.7, above the nearby average of 13.1. The 2024–2025 free/reduced-lunch rate was 80%, compared with 76% across nearby schools—context that describes the school, not an explanation for its results. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 91st percentile in serving African American students, but at the 18th percentile for students receiving special education services, well below its overall 53rd-percentile standing.
