Summary:

ZIP code 02914 has seven public schools in East Providence: five elementary schools serving K–5, one middle school, and one high school. In 2025–26, the elementary schools averaged 30.2% proficiency in ELA, 31.7% in math, and 28.1% in grade-5 science, compared with state rates of 33.1%, 31.9%, and 32.6%, respectively. The most important finding for families is that area averages hide large differences between individual elementary schools.

Kent Heights School led elementary ELA at 41.0% and math at 50.0%—7.9 and 18.1 percentage points above the state. Agnes B. Hennessey School led grade-5 science at 41.7%, 9.1 points above the state. At the lower end, Silver Spring School had the lowest ELA (22.3%) and science (13.3%); its science score was 19.3 points below the state. Emma G. Whiteknact School had the lowest math result, 20.6%, or 11.3 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranked Kent Heights at the 70th statewide percentile with four stars, versus Silver Spring at the 28th percentile with one star and Whiteknact at the 34th percentile with two stars. Edward Martin Middle also has a notable grade-specific strength: grade-6 math was 42.4%, 13.3 points above the state.

Recent elementary averages declined, especially in math: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the five-school average fell 1.6 points in ELA, 3.5 in math, and 1.4 in science. Those averages mask exceptions: Hennessey’s science rose 10.7 points, while Whiteknact’s math fell 15.0 points. SchoolDigger’s rank histories likewise diverged: Kent Heights rose 26 percentile points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, while Silver Spring fell 26 and Whiteknact fell 22. At Hennessey and Whiteknact, reported lunch rates were similar (66.12% and 68.98%), yet their scores differed by 10.6 points in ELA, 12.7 in math, and 21.7 in science—context that does not explain the results. At East Providence High, results improved relative to state rates on four tests with two-year comparisons, though its latest SAT math and science rates remained below state figures.
