Summary

Kevin K. Coleman School is an elementary school serving 256 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 14% in English language arts (ELA), 9% in math, and 10% in science—slightly higher than the district in all three subjects, but far below the state. The most important takeaway is that being ahead of the district has not brought the school close to statewide proficiency: its results are about 19 to 23 percentage points below the state.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools: its 14% proficiency is slightly above the five nearby Woonsocket schools’ average of about 13%, and it ranks third among the six Woonsocket schools shown. Math and science are weaker locally: the school is second-lowest among those six schools in both, with rates of 9% and 10%; the district rates are 8% and 9%, while the state rates are 32% and 31%. Grade results also vary considerably: grade 3 ELA is 25%, compared with 9% in grade 4 and 7% in grade 5. Grade 4 math is under 5%, while grade 5 math is 12%.

Recent results show some improvement, but not a broad, sustained rise. ELA increased by 6 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while science declined by 2 points over those years after falling and then partly recovering. SchoolDigger ranked the school 155th of 163 statewide in 2025–26, in the 5th percentile with 0 stars; its overall percentile rose from 0 the prior year, but remains below its 9th-percentile result in 2021–22. SchoolDigger’s measure for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students is a notable exception: it ranks in the 76th percentile (12th of 51, 4 stars), compared with the school’s overall 5th percentile. Its measure for Hispanic Students also rose from the 0th percentile in 2024–25 to the 17th in 2025–26. For context, the school has a 15.0 student–teacher ratio and a 67% free/reduced-lunch rate, the fourth-highest among the 11 schools compared.
