Elementary schools on the East Side (Providence)

[DaughterOfKali]

I know Providence is having trouble with school budgets and stuff.  However, I'm wondering how the public elementary schools on the East Side are in general.  I only know of one elementary school (in Fox Point.)  What/where are the others?

(has to be public as private is out of the question.)

Can you recommend any of them?

Thanks for your help!

DoK, I can ask my boss as she lives there. We had a conversation about it before, but one thing stuck in my mind clearly. She had said that there is an elementary school that's great there (I just can't remember what it was called), but beyond elementary (middle and beyond), she did not think what was offered was good at all. She said she'd probably move so her own child would not have to be in the school system longer than elementary school.

 The school in Fox Pt is the Vartan Gregorian School, which most people really like.  There is also MLK and others.  Have you searched the providence pubic schools web site?

This is a great site to find school Data

Vartan Gregorian (Fox Pt) and MLK (Mt Hope/Camp St) are 2 schools on the East Side, both good schools in terms of Prov. public schools

Thanks everyone!  I wouldn't stay on the East Side past elementary school unless my son gets referred to a special school out of district (due to his Aspergers/sensory issues.)

I'm glad to know there are at least a couple good elementary schools there.  Phew!
