Summary

Silver Spring School is a 223-student K–5 elementary school in East Providence, Rhode Island. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below both state and district results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important finding is that the school has moved from above its district in all three subjects to below it in all three.

Math is Silver Spring’s relative bright spot, while science is its largest weakness. The school’s results were 25% in math, 22% in ELA, and 13% in science; compared with the East Providence district, those results were lower by 8, 9, and 15 percentage points, respectively, and compared with the state they were lower by 7, 9, and 18 points. The nine nearby K–5/PK–5 schools averaged 31% in math, 32% in ELA, and 31% in science, leaving Silver Spring 6, 10, and 17 points below those averages. It had the lowest ELA result among those schools, the fourth-lowest math result, and the second-lowest science result.

Results have fallen since 2022–23: ELA declined from 44% to 22%, math from 37% to 25%, and science from 28% to 13%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also dropped from the 60th percentile to the 28th percentile over that period; its latest rating was 1 star. Some SchoolDigger group rankings stand out: the school ranked in the 65th percentile for how well it serves Special Education Students, compared with the 28th percentile overall, while it ranked in the 8th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students. As context, its student-teacher ratio was 12.3, below the nearby-school average of 13.4, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 55%, below the nearby average of 65%; these measures do not by themselves explain test results.
