Summary

North Providence High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in North Providence, Rhode Island, with 1,085 students. In 2025–26, it ranked 21st of 58 schools statewide on SchoolDigger, at the 64th percentile with 3 stars. The clearest finding for families is that math is the school’s standout: 36% of 11th-graders were proficient in SAT math, compared with 24% statewide and 18% at nearby Davies Career-Technical High School, a lead of 18 percentage points over Davies.

North Providence also performed above the state in 10th-grade PSAT math and English language arts, and in 11th-grade SAT English language arts. However, SAT English language arts was essentially level with the North Providence district (52% at the school and 52% in the district), while math proficiency was nearly level with the district, too. All-grades science was close to the state rate (31% versus 31%) and above the district’s 24%. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings show a notable contrast: the school ranked at the 88th percentile for serving African American students and the 81st for English Language Learners, but at the 13th percentile for Special Education students, down from the 28th percentile the year before.

Math results have improved over time: 11th-grade SAT math rose from 22% in 2022–23 to 36% in 2025–26, while the state rate fell from 25% to 24%. By contrast, SAT English language arts was broadly steady, moving from 53% to 52%. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 94%, up from 91% in 2020–21 and above the state’s 86%. The school’s SchoolDigger standing was just behind nearby Davies (72nd percentile) and ahead of the district’s 43rd-percentile standing. Its student-teacher ratio is 12.7, and its 52% free/reduced-lunch rate is the lowest among nearby schools with data; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
