Summary

Lippitt School is a K–5 elementary school serving 223 students in Warwick, Rhode Island. Its latest results are mixed: students perform above district and state averages in mathematics and science, but below both in English Language Arts (ELA). The most important takeaway is that ELA is the school’s clearest weakness, despite its stronger results in the other two subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Lippitt is near the bottom in ELA and near the top in mathematics. About 26% of students are proficient in ELA, below the nearby-school average of 34% and the district and state rates of about 33%; only one nearby school scores lower. In mathematics, about 39% are proficient, above the district (33%), state (32%), and nearby-school average (32%), making Lippitt second-highest among its neighbors. Science is another strength: about 39% are proficient, compared with 32% across nearby schools, 32% districtwide, and 31% statewide. Fourth-grade ELA deserves particular attention: 19% are proficient, versus 31% districtwide and 32% statewide. By contrast, mathematics proficiency is above district results in each tested grade.

Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, rising 3 percentage points in ELA, 17 in mathematics, and 15 in science; SchoolDigger’s overall statewide percentile rose from 23 to 52. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranks Lippitt 78th of 163 schools, at the 52nd percentile, with 3 stars. The school also has the lowest student–teacher ratio among nearby schools, at 9.2 students per teacher, compared with their average of 13.2; its 58% free/reduced-lunch rate is above the nearby average of 49%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking is notably higher for Hispanic students (77th percentile) than Lippitt’s overall standing, and lower for White students (32nd percentile). These rankings describe how well schools serve each group, not differences in students’ achievement. Because Lippitt has relatively few students, grade-level percentages may be more sensitive to year-to-year changes.
