Summary

Harry Kizirian Elementary is a Providence public school serving 434 students from pre-K through grade 6. In 2025–26, about 15% of students were proficient in each of ELA, math and science—well below state rates. The most important finding is that Kizirian had the lowest all-grades ELA and math results among the ten nearby schools with reported results.

Kizirian’s strongest relative subject is science: its 15% proficiency rate was slightly above the 14% rate in Providence, though well below the state’s 31%; it exceeded two and trailed seven of the nine nearby schools reporting science results. ELA and math were weaker: both were below Providence’s rates of about 17% and the state’s rates of about 33% in ELA and 32% in math. Nearby schools averaged about 22% in ELA and 23% in math. Within Kizirian, third grade had the strongest reported results, while fifth-grade math was lowest at 10% and sixth-grade ELA at 11%. Because Kizirian serves grade 6 and most nearby schools do not, all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Results have improved since 2022–23, rising by 3 percentage points in ELA, 5 in math and 4 in science, though math and science dipped before recovering. SchoolDigger’s overall rating is 1 star, with a 10th-percentile statewide standing (rank 147 of 163); that is up from the 2nd percentile two years earlier, but remains below every nearby school, whose percentiles range from 15 to 51. Kizirian’s student-teacher ratio is 16.6, near the middle of the nearby range, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 89%, the second highest nearby. SchoolDigger’s group rankings changed sharply: its measure for English Language Learner students rose from the 2nd to the 47th percentile (rank 27 of 51) from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while its measure for Special Education students fell from the 48th to the 9th percentile (rank 81 of 89).
