Providence Elementary & Middle School is a school in transition, that accepts the challenge of systemic change and progress toward proficiency in 2014. The school's mission statement "We at Providence Elementary will reach for success and value the potential of all" is a direct result of the staffs' belief that race, gender, or family background is not an indicator of individual student achievement. The goal of our staff is to educate every child, accept no excuses, and provide the foundation for all students to become successful adults in the 21st century .
