Summary

Scituate High School is a public school in North Scituate, Rhode Island, serving 387 students in grades 9–12. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 95%, compared with 86% statewide, a strong outcome even as recent SAT results have weakened. The clearest concern is 11th-grade SAT math: proficiency fell from 34% in 2022–23 to 26% in 2025–26, leaving the school just 3 percentage points above the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Scituate is strongest in 10th-grade PSAT math and 11th-grade science, and weakest in 11th-grade SAT math. PSAT math proficiency was 37%, 8 points above the state and fourth among 10 schools; science proficiency was 34%, 3 points above the state and fourth among the same group. SAT math proficiency was 26%, 3 points above the state but below the nearby-school average of between 27.9% and under 28.5%; Scituate ranked seventh. Its 10th-grade PSAT ELA result was 64%, the school’s largest advantage over the state among the reported tests, at 8 points. Results are closer to those of the Scituate district: Scituate’s SAT results were near district rates, while science was essentially equal.

Results have shifted: PSAT ELA remained fairly steady, while PSAT math rebounded from 22% in 2023–24 to 37% in 2025–26, still below its 45% level in 2022–23. SchoolDigger ranks Scituate 23rd of 58 statewide, at the 60th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2023–24. Locally, it has the smallest enrollment and a second-lowest student-teacher ratio, 10.7; its free/reduced-lunch rate is also second-lowest, at 24%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is Special Education Students: the school ranks at the 19th percentile with 1 star, down from the 60th percentile in 2023–24, compared with 60th percentile schoolwide.
