Summary

Saylesville Elementary is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Rhode Island, serving 312 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked 18th out of 60 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Saylesville Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Rhode Island elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on RICAS tests is generally higher than the state average, particularly in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Saylesville Elementary performs particularly well for female and Hispanic students, ranking 36th and 14th out of Rhode Island elementary schools, respectively, in those subgroups.

While Saylesville Elementary outperforms the nearby Lonsdale Elementary, it lags behind some of the higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Blackstone Valley Prep and The Learning Community. The school's lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools in Central Falls suggests that it serves a more affluent population, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
