Summary:

The 02911 zip code of North Providence, Rhode Island is home to three elementary schools: James L. McGuire School, Greystone School, and Centredale School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the North Providence school district.

Among the three schools, Greystone School stands out as the top performer, consistently exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, Greystone School had the highest overall proficiency rates in both subjects, as well as the highest 5th grade proficiency rates. The school's strong performance is reflected in its 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Rhode Island elementary schools.

Centredale School also demonstrates notable strengths, particularly in Mathematics, where its proficiency rates exceed the district and state averages across multiple grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Centredale School had the highest overall Mathematics proficiency rate among the three schools. While James L. McGuire School lags behind the other two schools in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios among the schools may be contributing factors to the observed performance variations.
