Summary

Lillian Feinstein Elementary School is a public school in Providence, Rhode Island, serving 429 students in kindergarten through grade 5. In 2025–26, 16% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 20% in mathematics, and 7% in science. The school is below the state in all three subjects, and science is its clearest academic concern: proficiency was 24 percentage points below the state and 7 points below the district.

Mathematics is the school’s strongest subject relative to local results, while science is its weakest. Math proficiency was 3 points above Providence’s average, but 12 points below the state and 4 points below the average at five nearby district schools; it ranked third among those schools and Lillian Feinstein. ELA was 18 points below the state, 2 points below the district, and 6 points below the nearby-school average, placing fifth of six locally. Science was 11 points below the nearby-school average and second-lowest among the six schools. No subject reached the state proficiency level.

Results have been uneven since 2022–23: ELA proficiency fell 6 points, math rose 1 point, and science fell 2 points overall, despite a peak in science in 2023–24. SchoolDigger places the school at the 14th statewide percentile with 1 star, close to Providence’s 13th percentile; the school’s ranking has stayed between the 12th and 18th percentiles over the past five years. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings are notably stronger for some student groups: the school ranks at the 81st percentile for students receiving special education services and the 77th for African American students, compared with the 14th percentile overall; both group rankings fell 8 points in the latest year. The 17.8 student–teacher ratio is the second-highest among nearby schools. Its 86% free/reduced-lunch rate is close to the nearby-school average of 84% and is context, not an explanation for academic results.
