GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at classical was very positive and I've made some lifelong friends here. The coursework might be rigorous but with the right time management anybody can handle it.

it has been quite an experience ,overall i feel like i have to do everything to advac my place in my education ,i don't feel i have the resources i need provided to me .the school culture is very sad and honestly not very motivating to go to.The arts are superbly underfunded in the school and it clearly shows favoritism to its sports alone .there is not enough or even much at all an investment into the art at the school, like art supplies materials for hand on learning, music instruments etc. i have had account or racist staff and it has not been great to have teaches in the school that make me and others feel unsafe. there is no student input ,it is all a lie they lure you in to positions at schools then don't take any of your ideas into account .Honestly they could be so much better .i do not feel like it is very productive environment for anyone and we that have made it to the end of year are just great adaptors.I wanted so much more out of classical high school and i am disappoint

My family loves the city of Providence. We moved here from out of state and were so pleased to learn that there were high performing public school options for our children. They both entered PPSD in Kindergarten and at that point, we planned for them to attend Classical High School once they got to...
