Narragansett Elementary leads the two schools with all-grades RICAS results in math, scoring 78.4% compared with 48.1% at Pier School; in ELA, the gap is narrower, 58.8% versus 54.0%. Pier’s comparatively weaker result is grade 5 math, at 38.3%, just 6.5 points above the state rate, though its NGSA science proficiency is 48.8%, 17.7 points above state. Narragansett High School stands out on grade 11 SAT results—77.0% proficient in ELA and 56.3% in math, respectively 29.2 and 32.8 points above state—and reports a 99% graduation rate, compared with 85.5% statewide.
Recent score changes are mixed rather than consistently upward or downward: elementary math rose 5.8 points while ELA fell 3.3; Pier’s ELA, math, and science each slipped by 1.5 to 1.9 points; and high school grade 11 SAT math rose 4.1 points while SAT ELA and both grade 10 PSAT10 scores declined. SchoolDigger ranks all three relatively highly in their categories: Elementary 11th of 163, Pier 12th of 68, and High School 8th of 58. Their student–teacher ratios range from 8.6 at High School to 13.1 at Pier, while reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 23.92% to 30.04%. Scores across schools cover different grades and assessments, so these figures are best read as broad comparisons rather than direct equivalents.
