Summary

Veazie Street School is a Providence, Rhode Island, elementary school serving 440 students from prekindergarten through grade 5. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 20% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math and 22% in science. The central takeaway is that Veazie performs better than the Providence district in all three subjects, but remains below Rhode Island’s state rates in all three.

Science is Veazie’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while ELA is its weakest. Science proficiency was 22%, 2 points above the nearby-school average of about 20%; ELA was 20%, 4 points below the nearby average of about 24%. Math was about even with peers at 24%. Against the district, Veazie was ahead by 8 points in science, 7 in math and 3 in ELA; compared with the state, it was behind by 9, 8 and 13 points, respectively. Results also differ by grade: fifth-grade math reached 28%, 10 points above the district and the second-highest result among the eleven nearby schools, behind only Martin Luther King Elementary School. Third-grade ELA was 17%, below the district’s 24% and lower than every nearby school’s third-grade result.

Scores are higher than they were several years ago, though ELA and math have recently dipped. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 7 points and math rose 8; both fell by about 3 points from the prior year. Science increased 12 points from 2023–24. SchoolDigger ranks Veazie at the 26th statewide percentile with 1 star, up from the 8th percentile in 2020–21 but slightly below its 27th-percentile standing the previous year. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.1, close to the nearby-school average of 14.6; its free/reduced-lunch rate is 85%, compared with 73% among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s group rankings stand out: Special Education Students are at the 79th percentile, versus 26th overall, and English Language Learner Students are at the 73rd percentile, up from 34th the year before.
