Summary

Pilgrim High School serves 1,137 students in grades 9–12 in Warwick, Rhode Island, and has a strong graduation rate alongside mixed test results. In 2024–25, 96% of students graduated, compared with 89% in Warwick and 86% statewide. The clearest concern is 11th-grade SAT math: 15% of students were proficient, 9 percentage points below the state rate of 24%.

Compared with nearby schools, Pilgrim is especially strong in science and English. It ranks second among the ten schools in all-grades science, with 35% proficient, and third in 10th-grade PSAT English, with 65% proficient. That English result is 9 points above the state and 6 above the district. Pilgrim also ranks third locally in 11th-grade SAT English, where 50% were proficient. Math is more mixed: 10th-grade PSAT math was 28%, just 1 point below the state and 3 above the district, while 11th-grade SAT math was below the state but 2 points above the district. In that SAT math comparison, Pilgrim ranks third locally, behind Barrington High School and Cranston High School West.

Graduation has improved substantially, rising from 85% in 2020–21 to 96% in 2024–25. Test trends are less consistent: 11th-grade SAT math proficiency fell from 20% in 2022–23 to 15% in 2025–26, while 10th-grade PSAT math rose from 24% to 28% over the same period. SchoolDigger ranks Pilgrim 28th of 58 statewide, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars. Its student–teacher ratio is 10.5, below the nearby-school average of about 12, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 46%, compared with a nearby average of about 68%; these are context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show lower statewide standings for Special Education Students (32nd percentile) and Asian Students (30th), compared with Pilgrim’s overall 52nd percentile; the Asian-student ranking draws on 10 schools.

I like this school for so many reasons. But there are some negatives about it. The school needs to improve on their test scores. It has to be as good as the other Warwick high schools. Although it has been approving, it still has a long way to go. I support this school. Anyone from 8th grade deciding to go to this school or have not decided yet, you should definitely go.
