Coventry

Coventry has seven schools serving elementary, middle and high school grades, with five elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. Elementary results vary considerably: the average across the five schools is above state results in ELA, math and science, but individual schools differ sharply. The clearest standout is Washington Oak School, which leads the elementary schools in all three latest subjects.

Washington Oak posts 53.4% in ELA, 59.4% in math and 62.9% in science—18.4, 24.4 and 24.4 points above the respective averages of the other four elementary schools. At the other end, Hopkins Hill School has the lowest elementary ELA and math results, at 30.1% and 22.7%; its math score is 21.5 points below the other four schools’ average. Blackrock School has the lowest elementary science result, 28.9%, 18.1 points below the other four schools’ average. Across elementary schools, average science proficiency is 43.4%, compared with 39.9% in math and 38.7% in ELA. Secondary science results also exceed state figures: 48.7% at Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School of Cov and 49.2% at Coventry High School.

Recent elementary results show a shared concern in math: all five schools declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the average fell 5.7 points to 39.9%. Average ELA rose 0.8 points and science rose 4.9, though science fell at Blackrock. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for Hopkins Hill dropped from 63 to 37 over three years, while Washington Oak remained high at 88 despite a five-point dip. Enrollment and student-teacher ratios do not neatly track results: Washington Oak has the largest elementary enrollment (594) and highest listed ratio (16.5), while similarly sized schools have notably different scores. Reported free/reduced-lunch rates range from 25.59% at Washington Oak to 55.28% at Blackrock; these are contextual figures, not explanations for performance. Secondary and elementary results are not directly comparable because schools serve different grades.
