Summary:
ZIP code 02816 has five elementary schools in Coventry, all serving students through grade 5; Washington Oak and Blackrock also serve pre-K. Together, the schools average above Rhode Island’s 2025–26 proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, though results vary considerably from school to school. The clearest overall standout is Washington Oak, which leads all five schools in all three subjects.
Washington Oak records 53.4% proficiency in ELA, 59.4% in math, and 62.9% in science—20.3, 27.5, and 31.8 percentage points above state results, respectively. It leads the next-highest school by 10.2 points in ELA, 14.5 in math, and 18.5 in science. At the lower end, Hopkins Hill has the lowest ELA result (30.1%) and math result (22.7%); Blackrock is lowest in science at 28.9%. The five-school averages are 38.7% in ELA, 39.9% in math, and 43.4% in science, each above the state rate, but Hopkins Hill’s math is 9.2 points below the state and Blackrock’s science is 2.2 points below.
Recent results show a groupwide rise in science, little change in ELA, and a notable math decline: the five-school averages shifted by +4.9, +0.8, and −5.7 points, respectively, from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Math fell at every school, while science increased at four; Blackrock was the exception, with science down 2.2 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings changed differently by school: Tiogue improved from 52nd to 46th, while Washington Oak moved from 11th to 19th and Hopkins Hill from 62nd to 102nd. Similar-sized Tiogue and Hopkins Hill have comparable lunch-rate and student-teacher-ratio figures, yet Tiogue scores higher in all three subjects; these measures describe school context, not why results differ.
