Summary

RISE Prep Lower Academy School serves 573 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. SchoolDigger gives it 2 stars and places it at the 34th statewide percentile, rank 108 of 163. The most important concern is that its 2025–26 results are below state levels in all three subjects—26% in ELA, 25% in math, and 16% in science, compared with 33%, 32%, and 31% statewide—with the largest shortfall in science.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, RISE is fifth in ELA, fifth in math, and sixth in science. ELA is a relative bright spot: its 26% proficiency is above the nearby-school average of 25%. Math is roughly in line with nearby schools; their average is at least 24.6% and under 25.1%, compared with RISE’s 24.6%. Science is the clearest local weakness: RISE’s 16% is about 8 points below the nearby average of 24%. The supplied RISE Prep Academies results match the school in ELA and math and are nearly identical in science (15.9% for the district versus 16.1% for RISE). Overall, RISE sits in the middle of the local SchoolDigger comparison, ahead of six nearby schools by percentile.

Results have declined since 2022–23, although ELA and math improved in the latest year: across the period, ELA fell 11 points overall and math fell 11, while science fell 19. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 5 points and math rose 2, but science dropped 12. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rebounded from 24 to 34 in the latest year, yet remains 20 points below its 2022–23 percentile of 54. RISE also has the group’s highest student-teacher ratio, 16.3, and a 67% free/reduced-lunch rate; these are context, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well it serves Male Students is 50, above its overall percentile of 34. Its ranking for Hispanic Students is 45, up from 25 the previous year, another notable improvement.
