Summary:
ZIP code 02891 has one listed high school, Westerly High School, serving grades 9–12 in the Westerly area, with 650 students. Its reported 2024–25 graduation rate was 93.5%, above the district’s 86.8% and the state’s 85.5%. The clearest overall finding is that Westerly scored above the state on every listed 2025–26 test result.
Westerly is both the top and bottom school in this list simply because it is the only one; that does not show how it compares with other nearby schools. Its strongest advantage over the state was in grade 11 SAT English Language Arts (ELA), where 69.6% were proficient versus 47.8%, a 21.8 percentage-point lead. Its smallest was in grade 11 SAT mathematics: 32.6% versus 23.5%, a 9.1-point lead. Scores were much closer to district results: the school matched the district on grade 11 SAT ELA, SAT mathematics and science, and was just 0.3–0.6 points ahead on grade 10 PSAT10. SchoolDigger ranked it 14th of 58 statewide, at the 76th percentile, in 2025–26. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot support a meaningful comparison among schools in the ZIP code.
Recent results show a mixed picture rather than steady improvement. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, SAT ELA rose 3.8 points and PSAT10 mathematics jumped 13.4 points, while SAT mathematics fell 9.7 points and all-grades science dropped 11.5 points. The state-relative advantage widened on average across the four tests with comparable two-year state results, but Westerly’s SAT mathematics lead narrowed as its score declined. The graduation rate is a positive additional measure, though no earlier rate is provided to show its trend. Other reported context includes 9.5 students per teacher and 38.46% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
