Summary

Washington Oak School is an elementary school in Coventry, Rhode Island, serving 594 students from pre-K through Grade 5. Its latest results put it well ahead of both the state and Coventry district averages. Most importantly, it leads the nearby schools with reported results in all three tested subjects: ELA, math and science.

Science is the school’s clearest strength, while ELA is its relative weak spot. In 2025–26, proficiency was 63% in science, 59% in math and 53% in ELA—about 32, 28 and 20 percentage points above Rhode Island, respectively, and 16, 21 and 16 points above the district. Compared with the next-best nearby result, Orchard Farms Elementary School in ELA, Hope School in math and Western Coventry School in science, Washington Oak leads by 7, 2 and 19 points. Results vary by grade: Grade 4 is a relative soft spot, with 45% proficiency in ELA and 52% in math, below Washington Oak’s Grade 3 results of 67% and 68%. Even so, its Grade 4 scores exceed the state results.

Scores have not risen steadily: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 3 percentage points and math fell 1, while science rose 6. SchoolDigger ranks Washington Oak 19th of 163 statewide, at the 88th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile has ranged from 54 to 93 over the ranking history provided.
