Summary:
The six elementary schools in ZIP code 02860 serve PK–5 or K–5 and enroll about 270 to 550 students; their average across all-grades ELA, math and science results is 23%, compared with 32% across the state benchmarks. The most important takeaway is that this area average masks large differences between schools: the top-to-bottom spread is about 30 points or more in every subject.
Francis J. Varieur School leads in ELA and math, with about 40% proficient in ELA and 37% in math; those results are 7 and 5 points above the state, respectively. International Charter School leads in science at about 39%, 8 points above the state, while Agnes E. Little School ranks second in all-grades math at 35%. At the other end, Elizabeth Baldwin School is lowest in all three subjects: about 10% in ELA, 8% in math and 6% in science, around 24, 24 and 25 points below the state results. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also place Varieur highest locally, at the 59th percentile, and Baldwin lowest, at the 1st percentile.
Recent changes differ by subject: the six-school ELA average fell about 3 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math fell about 1 point, and science rose about 5 points. Grade-level results can also change the picture: Little’s fifth-grade math score is 65%, compared with 32% statewide, even though its third- and fourth-grade scores are much lower. School context offers no simple guide to results: Little and Varieur have low student–teacher ratios of 11.4 and 11.7, but Baldwin’s is similarly low at 11.8 despite its lower scores; International Charter has the highest ratio, 17.1, and leads in science. Free/reduced-lunch rates range from 66% at International Charter to 93% at Cunningham, an observation that does not explain any school’s results.
