Summary

Pothier-Citizens Elementary Campus serves 669 students in PK–5 in Woonsocket. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked it 163rd of 163 Rhode Island schools, at the 0th percentile with 0 stars. Its test results were below both district and state results in ELA, math, and science. The clearest concern for families is that Pothier-Citizens had the lowest reported all-grades results among the nearby schools listed in all three subjects.

Science is the school’s least-weak subject relative to the district and state: proficiency was 6%, compared with 9% in Woonsocket and 31% statewide, gaps of 3 and 25 points. ELA was 7.6%, versus 11% in the district and 33% statewide; it was also below the lowest other Woonsocket school result, 7.9%. Math was under 5%, compared with 8% in the district and 32% statewide—more than 3 points below the district and at least 27 points below the state. The grade-level results show a relative bright spot in fourth-grade ELA: 11%, still below district and state results, but higher than three of the five other Woonsocket schools. By contrast, math was under 5% in both fourth and fifth grade.

Results over time show little broad improvement: ELA edged up from 7% in 2022–23 to 8% in 2025–26, while math fell from 9% to under 5% and science declined from 9% to 6%. The school’s SchoolDigger percentile has stayed at 0–1 across the five years shown. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–25, the second-lowest among nearby schools with data, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 66%, close to the 67% average for the other listed Woonsocket schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings were notably higher for African American students (35th percentile in 2024–25, compared with 1st overall) and English learners (19th percentile in 2024–25 and 18th in 2025–26, compared with overall percentiles of 1 and 0).
