Summary

Achievement First Providence H is a 458-student high school serving grades 9–12 in Providence, Rhode Island. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 93%, matching the rate for the Achievement First Rhode Island district and 7 percentage points above the state’s 86%. The clearest concern is mathematics: in 2025–26, about 7% of students were proficient in both 11th-grade SAT math and 10th-grade PSAT math, compared with 24% and 29% statewide, respectively.

Science is the school’s strongest tested subject: 32% of students were proficient, compared with 31% statewide and 27% in the district. That was the second-highest result among nearby schools, behind Classical High School at 61%. In 11th-grade SAT ELA, 47% were proficient, close to the state’s 48% and third among nearby schools, behind Classical and RINI Middle College. By contrast, 10th-grade PSAT ELA was 41%, 15 points below the state and below RINI’s 42%. Math results were also lower than several nearby schools, including Paul Cuffee Upper School in both math tests.

Recent trends are mixed: PSAT math fell from 24% in 2022–23 to 7% in 2025–26, while the state rate rose from 27% to 29%; the gap widened by 19 points. Science rose 6 points over three years, though it fell from its 2024–25 peak, and PSAT ELA dropped 22 points from its 2023–24 high. SchoolDigger ranked the school 34th of 58 statewide in 2025–26, at the 41st percentile, with 2 stars. Its student-teacher ratio of 12.7 was below the nearby-school average of 14.0; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 82%, about 3 points above the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup standings were notably higher for African American students, at the 85th percentile, and English Language Learner students, at the 75th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 41st percentile—indicating stronger relative standing in how it serves those groups.
