The Providence Public School District is the largest school district in Rhode Island, serving a culturally diverse population of 23,300 students. The racial and ethnic breakdown of the student population is as follows: 22 percent Black, 60 percent Hispanic, 12 percent White, 6 percent Asian and 1 percent Native American. Providence, like many urban school districts, faces challenges in educating our students, many of whom face significant barriers to learning, including poverty, limited language proficiency and special education needs.
