135^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 163 Rhode Island Elementary Schools

Better than 17% of Rhode Island elementary schools

Summary

Pleasant View School serves 433 students from pre-K through grade 5 in Providence, Rhode Island. Its results show a clear grade-level contrast: fourth-grade proficiency is especially low, while fifth-grade math is a relative bright spot. Most importantly, proficiency remains well below Rhode Island averages in every subject: 16% in English Language Arts (ELA), 19% in math and 14% in science, compared with 33%, 32% and 31% statewide.

Math is the school’s strongest subject against the Providence district: 19% of students were proficient, compared with 17% districtwide, though the result is still 13 percentage points below the state. ELA was 16%, 1 point below the district and 17 below the state; science was 14%, level with the district and 17 points below the state. Compared with nearby schools, ELA and math were below their averages of 21% and 22%; science was also below the nearby average range of 14.6% to under 15.2%. Fourth-grade ELA and math were both about 10%, among the weakest local results. By contrast, fifth-grade math was 27%, the highest among nearby schools reporting results for that grade, and 9 points above the district.

Results have changed unevenly: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose by 2 percentage points and math by 2, while science fell by 1; math’s latest increase followed a drop in the prior year. SchoolDigger ranks the school 135th of 163 statewide, at the 17th percentile and 1 star—around the middle of the nearby group. Its student–teacher ratio is 11.1, the second-lowest among nearby schools, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 80%, compared with a nearby average of 75%; these figures are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings also show a notable change for English Language Learner students: the percentile fell from 53 to 24, even as the overall percentile rose from 15 to 17. Its Special Education Students percentile is 46, compared with 17 overall.
