About Veazie Street School

Veazie Street Elementary has a warm, approachable feel that many families appreciate. The school runs on simple routines, which helps younger kids settle into their day without feeling overwhelmed. Math proficiency usually sits in the low-40% range, similar to Mary E. Fogarty, Alfred Lima Sr., and Anthony Carnevale Elementary, while Pleasant View and Vartan Gregorian typically land higher. Teachers rely on small groups, hands-on lessons, and clear, slow-paced explanations that make early math easier for students to grasp. Parents sometimes compare Veazie Street with Robert L. Bailey IV Elementary because both schools have similar academic pacing and a strong neighborhood feel. Families wanting more academic challenge sometimes explore Carl Lauro Elementary, which usually posts stronger math results, though many prefer staying at Veazie Street because the staff feels approachable and the community is tight-knit. Three-bedroom rentals around this part of Providence usually range between $1,900 and $2,600 depending on the exact block. Students typically move on to Hope High School, where alumni have entered fields like public service, arts, engineering, athletics, and various local careers. Veazie Street Elementary offers a grounded, community-focused school environment.
