Summary

Winsor Hill School is an elementary school in Johnston, Rhode Island, serving 380 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Johnston School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Winsor Hill School's own statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 78th to 138th out of 166-169 Rhode Island elementary schools, with a current 2-star rating.

Winsor Hill School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in RICAS English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the Johnston district and Rhode Island state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Rhode Island elementary schools for Hispanic students, White students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in ELA and Math.

Interestingly, the nearby Sarah Dyer Barnes School and Thornton School, which are also part of the Johnston district, have shown relatively stronger academic performance compared to Winsor Hill School. Furthermore, the two nearby Achievement First charter schools have outperformed Winsor Hill School in ELA and Math proficiency rates, suggesting that the charter school model may be providing some advantages in terms of academic outcomes for students in the area.
