Summary
Globe Park School is a PK–5 school in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, serving 519 students in a district ranked near the bottom statewide by SchoolDigger. In 2025–2026, about 11% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 10% in math, and 19% in science; the most important finding is that results were well below state levels in all three subjects.
Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and its district, while ELA and math are less competitive. Science proficiency was 19%, about 9 percentage points above the 9% district result and the third-highest among nine nearby schools with results, although it was below the nearby average of 20% and the state’s 31%. Math was 10%, 2 points above the district but 22 points below the state; it ranked fourth-lowest among Globe Park and 10 nearby schools. ELA was 11%, slightly below the district and 22 points below the state, and ranked third-lowest among those 11 schools. Nearby results also show that student context alone does not explain the differences: Blackstone Valley Prep Element has a higher free/reduced-lunch rate than Globe Park—83% versus 70%—but higher ELA and math proficiency.
Science has improved over four years, rising from 10% in 2022–2023 to 19% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 18% to 10% and ELA from 15% to 11%. SchoolDigger ranks Globe Park 157th of 163 Rhode Island schools, in the 4th percentile, with 0 stars; its overall percentile was 14 in 2021–2022 and has been 4 for the past two years. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 16.2, tied for the highest among nearby schools with reported figures, and the free/reduced-lunch rate was 70%, the third-highest nearby. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings show notable relative strengths for student groups: African American Students ranked in the 84th percentile (7th of 43), up from the 20th percentile the prior year, and Special Education Students ranked in the 48th percentile (46th of 89), up from the 18th.
