Summary

The Kevin K. Coleman School is an elementary school located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade with a total enrollment of 279 students. The school is part of the Woonsocket school district, which is ranked 58 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The academic performance of the Kevin K. Coleman School is significantly lower than the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 13% in the Woonsocket district and 36.7% statewide. Similarly, only 8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 12.8% in the district and 38.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking 111 out of 111 Rhode Island elementary schools for Hispanic students, 90 out of 97 for special education students, and 158 out of 158 for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, at $17,050 in the 2022-2023 school year, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 students per teacher in the 2023-2024 school year, the school has not shown any significant improvement in academic performance over the years. The nearby schools, such as Leo A. Savoie School, Pothier-Citizens Elementary Campus, Globe Park School, and Harris School, also perform poorly compared to the state average, but they generally outperform the Kevin K. Coleman School in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
