Summary:
Smithfield, Rhode Island, has one listed high school: Smithfield High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 729 students. Its 2025–26 results are above state proficiency rates in every reported subject, though its advantage is much larger in English language arts (ELA) and math than in science. The most important finding for parents is that ELA is the school’s clearest strength: proficiency is 14.4–16.1 percentage points above the state on the two reported tests.
Smithfield High School is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this list because it is the only one, so there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. Its strongest state comparison is 11th-grade SAT ELA, with 63.9% proficient versus 47.8% statewide; 10th-grade PSAT10 ELA is also strong at 70.4% versus 56.0%. Math is above the state as well: 35.4% versus 23.5% on the SAT and 38.9% versus 29.3% on the PSAT10. Science is closer to the state, at 31.9% versus 31.3% for 11th grade. SchoolDigger ranks the school 17th of 58 statewide, in the 71st percentile, and gives it four stars.
Recent results show improving math but mostly flat or declining ELA proficiency. SAT math rose from 27.3% to 35.4% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while PSAT10 math increased from 36.0% to 38.9%. SAT ELA fell from 67.4% to 63.9%, and PSAT10 ELA was nearly unchanged, slipping from 70.5% to 70.4%; all-grades science also declined from 33.1% to 31.9%. Graduation is another strength: the 2024–25 rate was 96.0%, compared with 85.5% statewide and 92.4% in the Smithfield district. The school reports an 11.7 student–teacher ratio and a 20.3% free/reduced-lunch rate, useful context but not evidence of what drives results. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot show how it compares with similar local schools.
