Summary

Kingston Hill Academy is a K–5 school in Saunderstown, Rhode Island, with 260 students. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates—66% in English language arts (ELA), 72% in math and 79% in science—were well above state rates. The clearest standout is science: Kingston Hill scored 28 points above the nearby-school average and ranked first among eight nearby schools reporting science results.

Kingston Hill Academy outperformed the state in every tested subject: its advantages were 33 percentage points in ELA, 40 in math and 48 in science. It also exceeded nearby-school averages of 59% in ELA, 61% in math and 50% in science; among nearby schools, it ranked third of 11 in ELA, second of 11 in math and first of eight in science. ELA is its relative soft spot, especially in third grade, where 58% were proficient and the school ranked eighth of 11 nearby schools reporting that grade. The school’s district, Kingston Hill Academy, reports the same results, so it offers no separate comparison.
