FRANK D. SPAZIANO ANNEX

Frank D. Spaziano Annex is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Providence school district, located in Providence, RI with about 176 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 1st Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, Frank D. Spaziano Annex has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Frank D. Spaziano Annex, located at 240 Laban Street in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island, serves as an extension of the larger Frank D. Spaziano Elementary School campus. As part of the Providence Public School District, the facility is designed to accommodate the city’s educational needs by providing additional classroom space and resources. It functions in conjunction with the main school building, which is named in honor of Frank D. Spaziano, a prominent local figure known for his long-standing commitment to community service and civic leadership in Providence.

The annex serves a diverse student population, emphasizing foundational elementary education within a supportive neighborhood environment. Like the main campus, the annex reflects the district's ongoing efforts to manage enrollment growth while maintaining a focus on core academic development, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. By operating as an integrated part of the broader Spaziano school community, the annex helps provide the necessary capacity to maintain manageable class sizes and access to essential educational programming for young learners in the Silver Lake area.
