Summary

Orchard Farms Elementary School serves 444 students in grades K–5 in Cranston, Rhode Island, and has the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in this comparison. Its most important strength is that its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above state and Cranston results in all three subjects: 47% in English language arts (ELA), 51% in math and 35% in science.

ELA and math are the school’s strongest subjects compared with nearby schools: it ranked second of 10 in both, scoring 15 points above the nearby ELA average and 19 points above the math average. It also exceeded state results by 14 points in ELA and 19 in math, and Cranston results by 16 and 22 points, respectively. Fourth-grade math stands out in particular, at 63%—28 points above the state rate and the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Science is a relative weak spot: the school ranked sixth of nine nearby schools, just 2 points above their average. Even so, its science rate was 4 points above the state and 10 above Cranston.

Science has dropped notably, from 48% in 2022–2023 to 35% in 2025–2026, a decline of 13 points. ELA has been steadier in recent years, while math was essentially unchanged across the period, moving from 50% to 51%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 39th of 163 Rhode Island schools, at the 76th percentile, with 4 stars.
