of 163 Rhode Island Elementary Schools

Better than 1% of Rhode Island elementary schools

Summary

Bernon Heights School is a K–5 elementary school serving 405 students in Woonsocket, where Woonsocket is among the lowest-ranked districts in Rhode Island. SchoolDigger ranks the school 161st of 163 statewide, in the 1st percentile with 0 stars; the district ranks 60th of 61. In 2025–26, only 8% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 10% in math and 11% in science, compared with state results of 33%, 32% and 31%. The most important concern is that proficiency is far below the state in all three subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, the results are generally near the bottom, though math and science are slightly above the district. ELA is 3 percentage points below the district and 6 points below the five nearby Woonsocket schools’ average of 14%; it is the second-lowest result among the nearby schools reporting data. Math is 2 points above the district and ranks third-lowest among the six Woonsocket schools. Science is 2 points above the district but 3 points below the nearby Woonsocket schools’ average of 13%, ranking third-lowest among nearby schools with data. Fourth-grade math is a relative bright spot: 16% proficiency was the highest among Woonsocket schools for that grade and 6 points above the district. But third-grade math was just 5%, below every nearby school reporting a result.

Results have declined across all subjects: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency fell 12 percentage points in ELA, 9 in math and 5 in science. The latest year brought especially steep drops in math and science—12 and 10 points, respectively. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking fell from 14 in 2024–25 to 1 in 2025–26, after fluctuating over the longer term. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 13.5, lower than all but two nearby schools, while the free/reduced-lunch rate was 64%, within the nearby range; these are context, not explanations for the results. State proficiency data are available only for 2025–26, so changes in the school’s gap to the state cannot be assessed.
