Summary:
ZIP code 02804 has one listed school, Ashaway Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through grade 4. Its 2025–26 all-grades proficiency was 41.9% in English language arts (ELA) and 50.5% in math, both above Rhode Island’s results. The clearest takeaway is that Ashaway’s advantage over the state is notably stronger in math: 18.6 percentage points, compared with 8.8 points in ELA.
There is no second school in the ZIP code to identify as a local top or bottom performer, so the useful comparisons are with Rhode Island and the Chariho district. Ashaway was above the state in every supplied grade-and-subject comparison, with its largest margin in fourth-grade math: 53.4% proficient versus 35.1% statewide, a difference of 18.3 points. Its all-grades math result was also 6.6 points above the district’s 43.9%. ELA was more mixed: the all-grades result was 2.8 points below the district, and third-grade ELA was 4.5 points below it, though fourth-grade ELA was 2.9 points higher.
Results and SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking have both declined over the reported period, although Ashaway remained above the state in the latest proficiency figures. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, all-grades proficiency fell 18.1 points in ELA, from 60.0% to 41.9%, and 15.1 points in math, from 65.6% to 50.5%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 4th of 166 in 2023–24, 13th of 166 in 2024–25, and 44th of 163 in 2025–26; its latest ranking was at the 73rd percentile, and it received four stars. For context, 2024–25 enrollment was 212, the student–teacher ratio was 15.1, and the free/reduced-lunch rate was 35.38%. State results for 2024–25 are not supplied, so the year-over-year changes cannot be compared with statewide changes.
