Summary

Mary E. Fogarty Elementary School in Providence, Rhode Island, serves 430 students in kindergarten through grade 5. In the 2025–26 results, proficiency was 8% in English Language Arts (ELA), 12% in math, and under 5% in science. The most important finding is that results are low in all three tested subjects, with science especially weak.

Compared with nearby schools, ELA and science stand out most negatively, while math is the school’s relative strength. Fogarty’s ELA proficiency was 8%, versus a nearby-school average of 19%; math was 12%, versus 19%; and science was under 5%, compared with a 14% average among nearby schools with results. The school also trailed the Providence district and Rhode Island in every subject: ELA was 8% versus 17% in the district and 33% statewide, while math was 12% versus 17% and 32%. Science was under 5%, compared with 14% in the district and 31% statewide. Nearby results show that much higher scores are possible: Achievement First Providence recorded 35% in ELA and 45% in math. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 83%, compared with Fogarty’s 90%; this is context, not an explanation for the difference.

Results have varied sharply, and the brief improvement in 2024–25 did not last. ELA rose to 18% that year, then fell to 8%; math rose to 18%, then fell to 12%. In the latest year, Fogarty was 9 points below the district in ELA and 5 points below in math. Science fell from 6.6% to under 5%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 3rd statewide percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, down from the 11th percentile the year before. Its student–teacher ratio was 17.9, compared with a nearby average of 14.7. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger’s ranking for English Language Learner students fell from the 45th percentile in 2024–25 to the 8th in 2025–26, while the overall school ranking fell from the 11th to the 3rd percentile.
