Elementary Schools in Narragansett

There is one elementary school in the Narragansett district: Templeton Elementary School, which serves grades PK–4 with 581 students in Templeton, MA. At the district level, Narragansett is ranked 280th of 351 Massachusetts districts, in the 20th percentile with 1 star, while the school's most recent rank is 533rd of 899, in the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Test data come from MCAS Next Generation for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026; the student-teacher ratio is 14.2 and per-student spending is $13,571. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so it should be treated as unknown rather than as a weakness.

Math is the clearest strength. All-grade math proficiency was 40.2% in 2025–2026, essentially matching the state's 41.11% and well above the district's 27.42%. Third-grade math was 43.3%, above both the district (42.42%) and the state (42.19%). ELA is weaker: all-grade ELA was 34.17%, below the state's 40.03% but above the district's 31.22%. Fourth-grade ELA showed the widest gap to the state, 29.41% versus 37.43%. Grade 3 generally outpaced grade 4 — 39.18% vs. 29.41% in ELA and 43.30% vs. 37.25% in math. The school matched or beat the district in every reported comparison except third-grade ELA, where it was 0.21 points below, essentially tied.

The school is also improving. Over two years it moved from 675th of 916 (26th percentile, 1 star) to 533rd of 899 (41st percentile, 2 stars), a 142-position gain. All-grade math rose 7.73 points year over year, far more than the district (+0.27) or the state (+0.37), nearly closing its math gap to the state. ELA rose 1.86 points, but the district rose 3.39, so the school's edge over its district narrowed. At the 41st percentile, the school still sits below the state median. Note that spending data are from 2020–2021, older than the test and ratio figures, and with only one school here, all comparisons are to the district, the state, or prior years.
