Summary

Mount Pleasant High is a public high school in Providence, Rhode Island, serving grades 9–12 and 997 students. Its graduation rate reached 80% in 2024–2025, above the Providence rate but below the state rate. The most pressing concern is academic proficiency: in 2025–2026, the school’s English language arts (ELA) results were well below district and state levels, while math and science results were under 5%.

ELA is the school’s relative bright spot, but it still trails both benchmarks. On the 11th-grade SAT, 11% were proficient in ELA, compared with 27% in Providence and 48% statewide; nearby results ranged from under 5% at Aventure Academy and Sheila Skip Nowell to 87% at Classical High School. The school’s under-5% math results are also far below district results of 14% and 17%, and state results of 24% and 29%. Science is under 5%, versus 14% districtwide and 31% statewide for all grades. Graduation is a counterpoint: the school’s 80% rate was 3 percentage points above Providence’s 77%, but 6 points below the state’s 86%.

ELA proficiency has declined overall: 11th-grade SAT ELA fell from 16% in 2022–2023 to 11% in 2025–2026, while 10th-grade PSAT10 ELA dropped from 18% to 12%. Graduation, by contrast, rose 13 points since 2020–2021. SchoolDigger ranked Mount Pleasant 58th of 58 Rhode Island schools in 2025–2026, at the 0th percentile with 0 stars. Its student–teacher ratio was 16.0, the third-highest among 11 nearby schools with data, and 90% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with a nearby-school average of 79%; these are contextual figures, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s female-student effectiveness percentile fell 17 points, from 17 in 2022–2023 to 0 in 2024–2025. Its English-language-learner percentile dropped 29 points, from 29 to 0 between 2022–2023 and 2023–2024.
