Colt Andrews School up 15 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Zip code 02809 has three schools in the Bristol Warren district: Colt Andrews School and Rockwell School, serving grades K–5, and Mt. Hope High School, serving grades 9–12. The clearest overall strength is that every reported 2025–26 result with a state comparison is above the state: elementary-school margins range from 15.8 to 30.4 percentage points, while Mt. Hope’s range from 13.9 to 29.9 points.

Colt Andrews stands out in elementary ELA and math, with 58.1% proficient in ELA and 53.8% in math—7.4 and 4.5 points above Rockwell, respectively. Rockwell is the elementary science leader at 61.5%, 14.6 points ahead of Colt Andrews; Colt’s 46.9% is still above the state result. At the high school, Mt. Hope’s strongest listed advantages are in 11th-grade SAT ELA (77.7%, 29.9 points above state) and science (60.0%, 28.9 points above state). Its SAT math result is also above the state, but the 13.9-point margin is the smallest among its listed results.

From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the two elementary schools’ average math proficiency fell 4.7 points to 51.6%, while science rose 5.1 points to 54.2%; the math average masks a 16.1-point drop at Rockwell and a 6.8-point gain at Colt Andrews.
