Current Resident: The College Hill area is home to students from RISD and Brown University. There are many restaurants in the area, in particular on Wickenden Street, Thayer Street and South Main Street. There are also many bars and great spots for a drink. College Hill is close to Downcity Providence, which also has many restaurants and bars/clubs. As well as residential homes, College Hill has dorms and apartments that students rent. It is overall a safe area, although one should not walk alone at night. College Hill is, literally, a very big hill, so be prepared for a good workout!... Read 25 reviews

Parent: We switched to Sheridan during the pandemic joining a small community that focused on the safety of our children while limiting the disruption to their education. The administration did a stellar job. What truly stands out is how well rounded a Sheridan education is. In addition to the more traditional academics, its arts and music instruction as well as its focus on diverse communities through the student clubs is truly exceptional. We chose a K-8 school because of the added focus on the middle school years which can be difficult transition years. As the school skews young the older kids don’t grow up too fast. This is a gentle school. Middle school students mentor the lower school students. My son loves his mentor and he looks forward to becoming a mentor to a lower school student himself. Finally, Sheridan is a school that builds confidence. In 7th grade, students lead their own high school selection under the guidance of their teachers. This is incredibly empowering!...

Current Resident: I moved to Cumberland when I was in the second grade. I am proud to say that there are relationships I made during my first year here that I still have to this day, as a high school senior. Through my experience through the different levels of the Cumberland Public school system, I can safely say that it is one of the strongest and well developed public school systems across the state. As an athlete my whole life I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity I have had to participate in town sports. More specifically in regards to the given pandemic, the Cumberland school system has done a great job maintaining the risk of spreading Covid-19 while still giving students the opportunity to learn in person....

Current Resident: Lincoln has been a wonderful place to raise my children. There are sports and after school programs available for the kids at all age levels. Even the library has activites for families. We first moved here solely for the school department and have never been disappointed! The teachers and guidance counselors are incredible at being involved and supporting families. However, there is a financial divide. Too often it's about who you know or how much money you have in order to be accepted or part of the team. That would be a big change that could be made.... Read 65 reviews

Current Resident: Smithfield is a great place for people who enjoy small towns and getting close with their neighbors. There's pretty much always something to do, from going to Deerfield Park for a nice jog, or heading to the Smithfield Crossings to do some shopping. The people in town are nice to be around, with most of the population ranging in their later adult years. There is also a lot for children of all ages to do, with parks, playgrounds, and multiple areas for different sports to be played all around town.... Read 29 reviews

Current Resident: To me, Hope is the casual Blackstone, second highest home ownership in Providence, second highest income in Providence (both after Blackstone) people are friendly, kids can comfortably walk the streets and dogs are abundant. There have been a lot of people from the Boston Area / Massachusetts that have moved in recently and many home renovations have followed. The one downside to Hope is that North Main street could use some work but there is an official committee working on that and the plans are very very promising. It’s really a great place to live and has been getting better by the day.... Read 12 reviews

The East Bay Bike Path runs through the city and connects Providence to Bristol and provides great opportunities for exercise. The public libraries have great resources and routinely run activities for children and adults.

Former Resident: Providence is by far the most diverse place I’ve ever lived in. I lived in Federal Hill for three years, and Smith Hill for several months- also have family in Elmwood. As I was told upon moving, Providence is more of a series of distinct neighborhood than one city, characterized by different ethnicities- of which there are many! The entire socioeconomic spectrum is represented here. Lots of poverty, crime and drugs, or lots of gentrification, boutique shops and expensive restaurants, depending on where you’re at- which switches on a nearly block basis at times. Speaking of food, you can hardly do better than Providence! It is somewhat of a cultural hub, and a high density of higher education. Jobs are relatively hard to come by, and wages often do not match the relatively high cost of living- which has increased dramatically in recent times. Providence is a mixed bag that is full of life, struggling in some ways but is overall a vibrant and beautiful place with beautiful people!... Read 249 reviews

Junior: Rochambeau, French International school is an amazing place to spend your highschool years. Enriched by a multi-cultural student body, Rochambeau has the mix of rigorous academia and a fun social life. The school is primarily taught in French, following the Baccalaureate curriculum. Students are given the option of classes they wish to develop as their "specialties': these include Humanities, Philosophy and French Literature, Social Economic Science, Political Science, Physics, Biology, and Maths. Most teachers are extremely insightful and engaging, and show off an extremely impressive resume from working at international schools around the world. One disadvantage that the school has would maybe be it's limited class size (200 in whole highschool) However, this could be considered a good thing as most students are really close.Overall, the bi-lingual education that is offered with the IB system serves as extremely good preparation to college, while still being a formative experience....
