Summary

West Warwick High School is a public high school serving 1,072 students in grades 9-12 in West Warwick, Rhode Island, which is part of the West Warwick School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's graduation rates have been relatively stable and close to the state average.

One notable bright spot is the performance of African American students at West Warwick High School, who have consistently outperformed other subgroups and ranked highly compared to their peers in the state. In contrast, the school's performance for White students and students of low socioeconomic status has been relatively weak, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support for these populations.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Pilgrim High School in Warwick and Cranston High School West, West Warwick High School generally performs lower on academic measures. However, the school outperforms the Apprenticeship Exploration School, a public charter high school in Cranston, which has significantly lower test scores and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
