Summary

West Warwick High School serves 1,081 students in grades 9–12 in the West Warwick community of Rhode Island. Its latest graduation rate is a bright spot: 90%, above the state’s 86% and the West Warwick district’s 83%. The clearest academic concern is mathematics: proficiency is below the state in both tested grades, at 13% on 11th-grade SAT math versus 24% statewide and 20% on 10th-grade PSAT math versus 29% statewide.

West Warwick’s strongest state-relative test result is 10th-grade ELA: 55% proficiency, close to the state’s 56% and equal to the district. It ranks fourth among the eight nearby schools on that test. Science is a relative strength against the district—23% versus 16%—but remains below the state’s 31% and five of the seven nearby schools. Math results are around or above district levels, but rank among the lower results nearby: fourth-lowest on SAT math and third-lowest on PSAT math. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show a striking difference in how the school serves student groups: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 82nd percentile in 2024–25, compared with the school’s overall 48th percentile. In 2025–26, Multi-racial Students ranked at the 10th percentile, 35 points below the school overall, and down from the group’s 38th percentile the year before.

ELA has improved over the four years shown: SAT ELA rose from 36% to 42%, and PSAT ELA from 45% to 55%. Math trends differ by grade and test: SAT math fell from 19% to 13%, while PSAT math edged up from 18% to 20%; both remain well below state results. SchoolDigger gives West Warwick 2 stars and a statewide percentile of 45 for 2025–26, ranking it sixth of eight nearby schools; its percentile has stayed fairly steady recently, at 43, 48, and 45 over the last three years, after reaching 72 in 2015–16. The student-teacher ratio is 13.0, compared with a nearby-school average of 11.9, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is 56%, versus a nearby average of 48%—context about the school, not an explanation for its results.
