Summary

Agnes E. Little School is a Pawtucket, Rhode Island, elementary school serving 320 students in kindergarten through grade 5. Its strongest results are concentrated in fifth grade: math proficiency reached 65%, compared with 21% in third grade and 23% in fourth grade, making fifth grade the school’s clearest bright spot rather than a picture of results across all grades.

Overall, the school compares well with nearby schools and Pawtucket, especially in math and science, while ELA is its main statewide weakness. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 26% in ELA, 35% in math and 33% in science—above the nearby-school averages by 6, 13 and more than 15 percentage points, respectively. The school ranked second among the nearby schools in math and third in science. Compared with the state, math was 3 points higher and science 2 points higher, but ELA was 7 points lower. Fifth-grade math was especially strong: 33 points above the state and 14 points higher than the best nearby result from Francis J. Varieur School. In contrast, third- and fourth-grade math were below both state and district rates.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, rising by 3 percentage points in ELA, 10 in math and 13 in science; the latest math result jumped from 25% to 35% in one year. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 18 to 42, and its rating increased from 1 star to 2 stars. Its rankings suggest particularly strong performance serving Hispanic students, at the 68th percentile statewide, and students with low socioeconomic status, at the 62nd percentile, compared with the school’s overall 42nd percentile. The school’s 11.4 student–teacher ratio is among the lowest nearby, while its free/reduced-lunch rate of 84% is above the nearby average of 81%; these are useful context, not explanations for its results.

Open Quote This school needs security Point Blake. The second week of school there were 20 kids on the field from ages 7 to about 12 fist fighting, as the school was called from several parents the principle did not attend to the situation until 15 minutes later and of course the kids were gone. Also, at the end of the day in front of the school there are boys and girls smacking each other in the face, throwing their backpacks at each other and the swearing is unbelievable. They also stare you down, try to touch the back of your car if they are walking behind it, they talk non sense to parents driving by that are just trying to pick up their kids. It is ridiculous the amount of disrespectful children there is at this school. They claim to have a no bulling program as well and that is a big joke. I can not wait to get my children OUT of this school. If I could of gave no stars I would have!!! Close Quote
