Summary

Nayatt School is an elementary school in Barrington, Rhode Island, serving 356 students in kindergarten through grade three. In 2025–26, 73% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 59% in math, well above state rates of 33% and 32%.

Against the state, Nayatt was 39 points higher in ELA and 27 points higher in math. It also exceeded the all-grades results for the Barrington district by 5 points in ELA and 2 points in math. Across the 10 nearby schools, Nayatt ranked third in each subject and was 22 points above their average in ELA and 13 points above it in math, though that broader comparison includes schools serving different grades.

SchoolDigger ranks Nayatt 15th of 163 Rhode Island schools, at the 91st percentile, with five stars. Its overall percentile has fallen from 99 in 2021–22 to 91 in 2025–26.
