Summary

Harris School is a K–5 elementary school in the Woonsocket district, serving 371 students in a city setting. In 2025–26, 18% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 14% in math and 18% in science. The most important takeaway is that Harris performs better than most comparable schools in its district, but its proficiency remains well below state levels.

Among the six Woonsocket K–5 schools, Harris ranked second in all three subjects. Its results were above the district averages by 7 points in ELA, 6 in math and 8 in science, but below state averages by 15, 18 and 14 points, respectively. Grade-level results show some stronger pockets: Harris led its local peers in fifth-grade ELA and math, while its third-grade ELA result was second, behind Leo A. Savoie School. Fourth-grade ELA was a relative weakness: 10% proficiency, about 2 points below the district.

All three subjects have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 9 points, math 5 and science 9, though science has swung sharply from year to year. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 2nd percentile and 0 stars in 2024–25 to the 11th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26; among nearby ranked schools, Harris stood above four and below six.
