of 163 Rhode Island Elementary Schools

Better than 25% of Rhode Island elementary schools

Summary

George J. Peters School serves 244 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Cranston, a district that SchoolDigger ranks 32nd of 61 statewide and gives two stars. SchoolDigger places Peters at the 25th percentile statewide, ranking it 123rd of 163 schools with one star. Test results are low across all three subjects, and science is the school’s clearest academic concern: just 7% of students were proficient, the lowest result among Peters and its 10 nearby comparison schools.

ELA is Peters’ strongest subject relative to local, district, and state results, but it still trails each benchmark: 21% of students were proficient, compared with 32% at nearby schools and 31% in the district and statewide. Math proficiency was 17%, versus nearby averages of 33%, 29% in the district, and 32% statewide. Science was 7%, compared with 31% at nearby schools, 25% in the district, and 31% statewide. The largest gaps versus nearby schools were in science and math, at 24 and 15 percentage points. Third grade is a relative bright spot, with 36% proficiency in ELA and 33% in math—close to nearby averages of 35% and 33%. Results drop in the upper grades: fifth-grade ELA was under 5%, while fifth-grade math and science were each 7%.

Results have declined overall since 2022–23: ELA fell from 30% to 21%, math from 23% to 17%, and science from 20% to 7%. The latest year brought a particularly steep science decline of 17 percentage points. Peters’ SchoolDigger overall percentile remained 25 in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, rather than showing a recent recovery. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 13.5, compared with a nearby-school average of 12.9; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 62%, close to the nearby average of 63%. SchoolDigger’s standing for students receiving special education services fell from the 39th percentile to the 11th in one year, 14 points below the schoolwide percentile. Its standing for male students rose from the 13th to the 28th percentile.
