Summary

Clayville School is a 140-student public elementary school serving prekindergarten through grade 5 in Clayville, Rhode Island, and has the smallest enrollment among 10 nearby schools. Its 2025–26 results show a clear difference by subject: math is a strength, while science is below state, district and nearby-school results. The most important concern is science: just 29% of students were proficient, and the result fell 16 percentage points from the previous year.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, Scituate and the state. In 2025–26, 49% of students were proficient in math, 17 points above the state, 8 above the district and 8 above the nearby-school average. ELA was also above those benchmarks: 41% were proficient, 8 points above the state, 1 above the district and 3 above the nearby average. Science was weaker: 29% were proficient, 2 points below the state, 5 below the district and 10 below the nearby average; eight of the 10 nearby schools scored higher. Grade-level math results vary sharply: third-grade proficiency was 73%, second among the 11 schools compared, while fourth-grade proficiency was 30%, lower than all but one.

Results remain well below earlier highs despite small recent gains in ELA and math. Since 2022–23, ELA proficiency has fallen 14 percentage points, math 14 and science 21; in the latest year, ELA rose 3 points and math 1, while science dropped 16. SchoolDigger rates the school 54th of 163 statewide, in the 67th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 96th percentile and 5 stars in 2021–22. The school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 12.7, compared with a nearby average of 13.5, and its 22% free/reduced-lunch rate was the second-lowest nearby. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White Students was at the 50th percentile, 17 points below its overall standing; its measure for Female Students rose from the 43rd percentile to the 58th in one year.
