Summary:

The 02889 zip code in Warwick, Rhode Island is home to 4 elementary schools: Oakland Beach School, Sherman School, Warwick Neck School, and Hoxsie School. While these schools serve the same geographic area, their performance and demographics vary significantly.

Among the 4 schools, Sherman School stands out with the highest ranking in the state, the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Oakland Beach School has the lowest proficiency rates and the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Warwick Neck School also saw a significant drop in its statewide ranking, despite having the highest 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Overall, the elementary schools in the 02889 zip code perform below the Warwick district and Rhode Island state averages in core academic subjects. The variation in student demographics, funding, and resources across these schools suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the performance disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the area.
