Summary:
Harrisville, Rhode Island, has four public schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: Austin T. Levy School (K–1), William Callahan School (grades 2–5), Burrillville Middle School (grades 6–8), and Burrillville High School (grades 9–12); together they enroll 1,667 students. No test scores were supplied for Austin T. Levy. The biggest concern in the reported results is middle school, where ELA and especially math proficiency are well below state levels.
Burrillville High School stands out for strong reported ELA and math results: its 2025–26 SAT proficiency was 56.7% in ELA and 30.0% in math, 8.9 and 6.5 percentage points above state results, and its graduation rate was 98.6% versus 85.5% statewide. Science was a weaker spot at 25.2%, below the state’s 31.3%. At the other end, Burrillville Middle School recorded 20.7% ELA and 15.0% math proficiency, trailing state results by 12.4 and 16.9 points. William Callahan School was near the state in all-grades math (31.4% versus 31.9%), but grade 5 results were notably lower than grade 3: math was 22.8% versus 40.9%, and ELA was 17.7% versus 39.4%. SchoolDigger ranks High 25th of 58 (57th percentile, 3 stars), Middle 47th of 68 (31st percentile, 2 stars), and Callahan 101st of 163 (38th percentile, 2 stars).
Recent changes show no consistent improvement across schools and subjects. High’s SAT math rose 5.3 points and its PSAT ELA rose 4.5 points from the prior year, while PSAT math fell 3.3 points; its SchoolDigger percentile moved up from 52 to 57 between 2023–24 and 2025–26. Middle’s ELA fell 7.1 points and math 1.5 points, and its percentile declined from 42 to 31. Callahan’s math fell 4.8 points, while science rose 8.8 points; its percentile slipped from 43 to 38. School context also varies: student–teacher ratios range from 11.0 at Austin T. Levy to 14.0 at Callahan, while free/reduced-lunch rates range from 37.22% at High to 49.68% at Callahan; these are descriptive differences, not explanations of achievement.
