Summary

Rockwell School is an exceptional elementary school located in Bristol, Rhode Island, serving 260 students in grades K-5. As part of the Bristol Warren District, which is ranked 17 out of 60 districts in the state, Rockwell School has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Rhode Island, ranking within the top 25 schools for several years.

Rockwell School's academic performance is truly impressive, with students consistently outperforming the Bristol Warren District and the state of Rhode Island in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 56.9% of Rockwell School students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.8% for the district, and 65.4% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 43.2% for the district. The school also performs exceptionally well for specific student groups, ranking 2nd out of 97 Rhode Island elementary schools for its Special Education students and 24th out of 129 schools for its White students, both with high ratings.

While Rockwell School's overall performance is outstanding, the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of its Low Socioeconomic Status students, who have a lower ranking compared to the school's other student groups. Nonetheless, Rockwell School outperforms many nearby schools, such as Colt Andrews School and Hugh Cole School, in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. The school's high per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio suggest that it is investing resources to support its students and maintain a strong learning environment.
