Summary:
Zip code 02882 has three public schools in Narragansett, serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Narragansett Elementary (PK–4), Narragansett Pier School (5–8), and Narragansett High School (9–12). The clearest area-wide takeaway is that every school’s reported 2025–26 proficiency result was above the corresponding state rate, though the size of the lead varied considerably.
Narragansett Elementary led the reported all-grades RICAS results: 58.8% proficiency in ELA and 78.4% in math, compared with 54.0% and 48.1% at Narragansett Pier School. Elementary’s math result was 46.5 percentage points above the state rate, while Pier’s was 16.2 points above; Pier’s ELA result was also a substantial 20.9 points above the state. At the high school, 11th-grade SAT proficiency was 77.0% in ELA and 56.3% in math—29.2 and 32.8 points above state rates. The high school also had a 99.0% graduation rate, compared with 85.5% statewide. These results make Elementary stand out in the reported RICAS scores and the high school stand out in SAT results and graduation; Pier’s reported scores are lower than Elementary’s, but still above state figures.
Recent results show mixed movement rather than a consistent upward or downward trend: Elementary’s math rose 5.8 points year over year while ELA fell 3.3; Pier’s ELA, math, and science each fell about 1.5–1.9 points. At the high school, SAT math increased 4.1 points, but SAT ELA and both PSAT subjects declined; its SchoolDigger rank was 8th of 58 statewide in 2025–26, while Elementary ranked 11th of 163 and Pier 12th of 68. The high school also had the smallest student–teacher ratio (8.6) and lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (23.92%); Pier had the highest ratio (13.1) and rate (30.04%). These are contextual observations, not explanations of results. All-grades scores cover different grade spans, so they are not direct grade-matched comparisons.
