Summary

Blackstone Valley Prep High is a 9–12 school in Cumberland, Rhode Island, serving 405 students in the Blackstone Valley Prep A RI Mayoral Academy district. Its latest graduation rate was 87%, slightly above the state’s 86%, and SchoolDigger rates the school at 3 stars and the 53rd percentile statewide. The most important concern is its much lower SchoolDigger ranking for students receiving special education services: the school ranked at the 3rd percentile, compared with the 53rd percentile overall.

Test results are mixed but generally compare favorably with nearby schools. The clearest strength is 10th-grade PSAT math: 36% proficiency, 6 percentage points above the state and slightly above the district. In 11th-grade SAT English, 50% proficiency was 2 points above the state and 1 point above the district. Other state comparisons are close shortfalls: SAT math was 22%, 1 point below the state, while PSAT English was 55%, 1 point below, and science was 30%, also 1 point below. The school exceeded the average of ten nearby schools on all five reported tests, though it was ahead of only six nearby schools on four tests and seven on SAT math—good comparisons, but not top-of-group results.

Results have shifted over time: 11th-grade SAT math fell 12 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, despite a strong rebound in 2024–25, while 10th-grade PSAT math rose 2 points overall. PSAT English fell 7 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Graduation also merits attention: the latest rate was down 10 points from the prior year’s 96%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Hispanic students was notably higher than the overall ranking—78th percentile versus 53rd—while its ranking for students receiving special education services has fallen from the 13th percentile in 2023–24 to the 3rd. The 13.5 student-teacher ratio is toward the higher end of nearby schools’ range, and the 74% free/reduced-lunch rate is around the middle of the nearby group; these are useful context, not explanations for results.
