Summary:
East Greenwich, Rhode Island, has six schools serving students from elementary through high school, including four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. Current proficiency results are available for four of them, and every reported result is above its corresponding state benchmark. The most important takeaway is that the schools with scores are performing well above state proficiency levels, with advantages ranging from 20.1 to 40.1 percentage points.
East Greenwich High and Archie R. Cole Middle School stand out at their grade levels: High’s grade-11 results were 35.1 points above the state in SAT ELA, 36.3 in SAT math and 39.1 in science; Cole was 31.5 points above the state in all-grades ELA, 34.8 in math and 40.1 in grade-8 science. Among the two score-reporting elementary schools, James H. Eldredge School led George Hanaford School in all-grades ELA, math and science by 6.6, 8.9 and 4.2 points. Hanaford had the smaller state advantages of the four schools, but still exceeded the state in every reported subject. The clearest elementary gap was in grade 3, where Eldredge led Hanaford by 16.2 points in ELA and 17.0 in math.
Recent results show mixed movement, not a consistent upward or downward trend: math rose at Cole, Eldredge and Hanaford, while ELA fell at Cole and Eldredge but rose at Hanaford. High’s SAT math fell 10.5 points and SAT ELA fell 4.4, though its 2025–26 results remained far above state levels; its PSAT10 results improved instead. SchoolDigger ranked High #2 of 58, Cole #4 of 68, Eldredge #12 of 163 and Hanaford #21 of 163 in its latest rankings. Eldredge’s student-teacher ratio was higher than Hanaford’s (15.3 versus 13.8), while both schools’ reported free/reduced-lunch rates were similar (9.77% and 9.06%); these are observations, not explanations of score differences. Meadowbrook Farms School and Frenchtown School have no test scores in the supplied data, so their results cannot be compared here.
