Summary

Centredale School serves 221 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in North Providence, Rhode Island. Its 2025–26 results show a mixed picture against the state: math proficiency was 34%, above the state’s 32%, while science proficiency was 24%, below the state’s 31%. The strongest overall takeaway for families comparing local options is that Centredale ranked second in ELA, math, and science among the nine nearby schools with reported results.

Math is its clearest strength across comparisons: proficiency was 34%, versus 32% statewide, 22% in North Providence, and a 23% nearby-school average. Third-grade math was especially strong at 42%, 5 points above the state and 12 points above the district. ELA was close to the state overall, but results varied by grade: third graders reached 42%, 3 points above the state, while fifth graders scored 23%, 8 points below. Science is a local strength but a statewide concern: Centredale’s 24% was 7 points below the state, nearly level with the district, and 3 points above the nearby-school average.

Recent trends differ by subject: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 10 points, while ELA fell 3 points and science fell 14 points. SchoolDigger ranked Centredale 86th of 163 schools, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile had risen from 18 in 2018–19. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.2, below the nearby-school average of 13.6, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 61%, fifth-highest among 11 nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking was notably high for Hispanic students, at the 92nd percentile, and lower for White students, at the 28th percentile, compared with 47th overall. Nearby averages cover nine schools with reported results, and some peers serve a different grade span.
