Rhode Island Education Trends and Opportunities

Rhode Island has 105 high schools, with 31 private and 74 public institutions. The state ranks 44th in student enrollment but has a favorable student-teacher ratio, ranking 13th nationwide. However, Rhode Island’s graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the national average, and students face challenges in SAT performance.

High school students take assessments through the PARCC exams, which evaluate skills in English language arts, algebra, and geometry. Graduates often pursue higher education at the state’s top institutions, including Brown University, Providence College, and the University of Rhode Island. Through the Regional Student Program Tuition Break, Rhode Island students can also access out-of-state colleges at reduced tuition rates. Excel High School complements these pathways by providing nationally accredited programs that are recognized by schools, universities, and the U.S. military.
