Summary

Lillian Feinstein Elementary School is a public elementary school in Providence, Rhode Island, serving 432 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Providence School District, which is ranked 50 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lillian Feinstein Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom third of Rhode Island elementary schools, with only 20.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.6% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 36.7% and 38.4%, respectively. The school's performance on science assessments is also low, with just 10.9% of students reaching proficiency. However, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, such as African American and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Cornel Young & Charlotte Woods, Robert L. Bailey IV, and Mary E. Fogarty Elementary School, also struggle with academic performance, while schools like Reservoir Avenue School and Leviton Dual Language School perform significantly better. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's location in a low-performing district may contribute to the challenges faced by Lillian Feinstein Elementary, but the school's strong performance in certain subgroups suggests that targeted interventions could lead to improvements in student outcomes.
