Summary

Achievement First Providence is a 460-student K–4 elementary school in Providence, Rhode Island, with enrollment close to the average among nearby schools. It is part of the Achievement First Rhode Island district. In 2025–26, the school had the highest reported all-grades proficiency in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math among 10 nearby schools—the clearest sign of its strong local academic standing.

Math is the school’s biggest strength compared with the state, district and nearby schools: 45% of students were proficient, 13 percentage points above the state and 14 above the district. ELA proficiency was 35%, a smaller but positive 2 points above the state and 3 above the district. The school also exceeded the nearby-school averages by 18 points in ELA and 28 in math. Fourth-grade ELA is a relative soft spot: 31% were proficient, about 1 point below the state, although this was still the highest reported fourth-grade result among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide student-group rankings are especially high for African American students and English Language Learner students: both groups ranked at the 98th percentile, first among 43 and 51 schools, respectively.

Results have risen over time, particularly in math. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency increased by 12 percentage points and math by 22; math has since held nearly steady, at 44% in 2024–25 and 45% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 23rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 60th percentile in 2025–26, a 37-point rise; the school ranked 66th of 163 and received 3 stars, though it has not returned to its earlier 79th-percentile peak. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 13.5, below the nearby average of 15.1. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 83%, close to the nearby average of 83%—context about the school, not an explanation for its results.
