Summary:
The 08056 list covers two schools serving PK–6 in East Greenwich Township School District: Jeffrey Clark School serves PK–2, and Samuel Mickle School serves grades 3–6. Test scores are available only for Mickle’s tested grades, so the supplied data cannot establish an academic ranking between the schools. The clearest achievement finding is that Mickle scored above the state in every supplied ELA, math, and grade 5 science comparison in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
Among the available test results, Mickle stands out above the state, though its advantages vary by grade. In 2025–2026, its largest lead was in grade 6 math: 69% proficient compared with 40% statewide, a 28-point gap. Its smallest lead was in grade 5 ELA: 57% compared with 52%, a 5-point gap; grade 5 is the clearest relative soft spot in both ELA and math. Clark’s distinctions are in school size and staffing, not measured achievement: it enrolled 469 students versus Mickle’s 712, and its student-teacher ratio was 11.4 to 1 versus 12.4 to 1.
Results changed differently by subject: Mickle’s average ELA advantage over the state widened from 11 points in 2024–2025 to 16 points in 2025–2026, while its math advantage narrowed from 17 points to 16. Grade-level results were mixed: grade 3 ELA rose 15 points, while grade 5 ELA fell 5; grade 6 math fell 7, and grade 5 science fell 8. SchoolDigger placed Mickle at the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024, 69th in 2024–2025, and back at the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026. As context, the schools had similar 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares—8.2% at Mickle and 8.3% at Clark—while Clark reported $709 more per student in spending. These differences describe the schools but do not explain achievement.
