Summary:

The 02916 zip code in East Providence, Rhode Island is home to a single standout elementary school, Myron J. Francis Elementary. This school has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic performance, ranking among the top 20 elementary schools in the state for the past three years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Myron J. Francis Elementary has outperformed both the East Providence district and the Rhode Island state averages on the RICAS (Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System) tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 52.4% in ELA and 68.8% in Math, compared to the district averages of 30.3% and 32.1%, respectively. This consistent academic excellence is likely due to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7 and its higher-than-average spending per student of $15,136.

While the school's student population appears to come from more affluent backgrounds, with a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, this socioeconomic factor does not diminish the school's remarkable achievements. Myron J. Francis Elementary's success serves as a model for other schools in the region, and understanding the factors that contribute to its outstanding performance could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes in the broader community.
