Summary

Anthony Carnevale Elementary is a public elementary school located in Providence, Rhode Island, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 477 students. The school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quarter of Rhode Island elementary schools over the past decade.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Anthony Carnevale Elementary's academic performance on state assessments remains significantly below the Providence district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.2% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 17.7% in the district and 36.7% statewide. In Mathematics, 15.9% of students were proficient or better, compared to 16.4% in the district and 38.4% statewide.

While nearby Winsor Hill School and Webster Avenue School also struggle with low academic performance, Anthony Carnevale Elementary consistently ranks lower, suggesting the need for a more targeted and comprehensive approach to improving student outcomes.
