Summary:
The city of Narragansett, Rhode Island, is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Narragansett Elementary School, Narragansett Pier School (middle school), and Narragansett High School. These schools have demonstrated varying levels of academic performance, with Narragansett Elementary School consistently ranking among the top 3 elementary schools in the state over the past 3 years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Narragansett High School has also performed well, ranking in the top 15 schools in the state and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has seen its statewide ranking improve from 14th to 7th over the past 3 years, indicating positive strides in improving student outcomes. In contrast, Narragansett Pier School (middle school) has had more mixed performance on standardized assessments, with some grades exceeding the state average and others falling below.
Across the Narragansett school district, the schools have relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $24,114 to $26,201 per student, and low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.4 to 12.5 students per teacher. However, the variation in free/reduced lunch rates among the schools, from 9.6% at Narragansett High School to 18.4% at Narragansett Pier School, may indicate the need to further examine the distribution of resources and support services to ensure equitable access for all students.
