Blackstone Valley Prep High is a public charter high school located in Cumberland, Rhode Island, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 410 students. This school is part of the Blackstone Valley Prep A RI Mayoral Academy district, which is ranked 29 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blackstone Valley Prep High consistently ranks in the top 30 high schools in Rhode Island, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally on par with or better than the state average, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, 52.7% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.6%. The school also has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83.4% to 98.6% over the past few years. Additionally, Blackstone Valley Prep High serves a relatively high proportion of low-socioeconomic status students, with 65.51% to 68.92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby public high schools, such as Lincoln Senior High School, Blackstone Valley Prep High generally outperforms them in terms of student performance on standardized tests and graduation rates. However, some nearby schools, like Jacqueline M. Walsh School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly for certain student subgroups. While Blackstone Valley Prep High's performance for students with special needs is an area of concern, the school's relatively high per-student spending may contribute to its overall strong academic performance, especially in English Language Arts.
