Summary:
ZIP code 02892 has one listed school, West Kingston School, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 313 students in the South Kingstown district. There is no other listed school in the ZIP code to compare it with. The most important finding for families is that the school’s 2025–26 proficiency results were well above state results in ELA, mathematics and science.
West Kingston School is both the top and bottom of the local list because it is the only school included; the local list therefore cannot show which school is stronger. Compared with state results, its all-grade proficiency was higher by 23.3 percentage points in ELA (56.4% versus 33.1%), 22.8 points in mathematics (54.7% versus 31.9%) and 11.8 points in science (42.9% versus 31.1%). Results were closer to district levels: ELA was 0.3 points lower, mathematics 0.6 points higher and science 5.3 points lower. SchoolDigger ranked the school 27th of 163 statewide schools, at the 83rd percentile, and awarded it four stars for 2025–26.
Recent proficiency results improved in ELA and mathematics, while science edged down: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 8.2 points to 56.4%, mathematics rose 4.4 points to 54.7%, and science fell 0.7 points to 42.9%. The ELA and mathematics gains brought the school closer to or slightly above district results, while its science result remained farther below the district. Grade-level figures add context: in grade 5, the school was above district results in mathematics by 3.2 points and science by 2.5 points, but it was below district results in each reported ELA grade. SchoolDigger’s percentile rank rose from 75th in 2024–25 to 83rd in 2025–26, after 80th in 2023–24. The reported 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 14.9, and 21.41% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures describe the school, not the reasons for its results.
