Summary

Henry J. Winters School is an elementary school located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 552 students. The school is part of the Pawtucket School District, which is ranked 43 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Henry J. Winters School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Rhode Island elementary schools over the past decade, indicating a long-standing challenge in improving student academic achievement. The school's performance on RICAS (Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System) and NGSA (Next Generation Science Assessment) tests is significantly below the state and Pawtucket district averages, with only 16% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16.5% in mathematics in 2024-2025.

The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 68.48% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. The school's diverse student population, with 27% of students being African American, 93% Hispanic, and 3% multi-racial in 2024-2025, may also require specialized instructional approaches and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities. Exploring ways to optimize resource allocation and staffing patterns could be an area of focus to improve the school's academic performance.
