Summary:
Peace Dale has one listed school, Peace Dale School, an elementary school serving prekindergarten through grade 5 with 412 students in the South Kingstown district. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency was 62.0% in ELA and 58.3% in math, well above Rhode Island’s 33.1% and 31.9%; science proficiency was 34.0%, just above the state’s 31.1%. The most important takeaway is that the school’s results are especially strong compared with the state in ELA and math, while science is a relative weakness compared with its district.
There is no meaningful local top-versus-bottom comparison because Peace Dale School is the only school listed. SchoolDigger gives it four stars and ranks it 26th out of 163 Rhode Island elementary schools, at the 84th percentile. Results differ by grade: grade 3 math is a high point at 76.6%, compared with 37.1% statewide, while grade 5 math is 36.0%, only 4.2 points above the state and 5.4 points below the district. Grade 5 science is also close to the state result—34.0% versus 32.6%—but trails the district’s 40.4%. These grade-level figures offer a more specific picture than the all-grade averages for families considering a particular grade.
Recent results improved in ELA and math but declined sharply in science: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 6.7 points and math 9.6 points, while science fell 19.0 points; district science, by contrast, rose 0.9 points. SchoolDigger’s rank also improved from 51st of 166 in 2023–24 to 26th of 163 in 2025–26. The school reports a student–teacher ratio of 11.4, a 37.62% free/reduced-lunch rate for 2024–25, and spending of $24,199 per student; these describe the school’s context, not what explains its scores. With only one school listed, the data cannot support school-to-school comparisons within Peace Dale.
