Summary:
Zip code 02893 has three West Warwick elementary schools—John F. Horgan School, Greenbush Elementary School, and Wakefield Hills Elementary School—all serving kindergarten through grade 4. In 2025–26, their average proficiency was 19.4% in ELA and 24.3% in math, compared with state rates of 33.1% and 31.9%. The area’s most important overall finding is that results trail the state in both subjects, though the math gap is smaller and Greenbush is above the state in math.
Greenbush stands out at the top, with 24.3% proficiency in ELA and 37.4% in math; its math result is 5.5 percentage points above the state and 19.7 points above the other two schools’ average. Horgan is in the middle at 17.3% in ELA and 19.6% in math. Wakefield Hills is lowest overall, at 16.7% in ELA and 15.8% in math. The differences are especially wide in math: the all-grade range is 21.6 points, compared with 7.6 in ELA. Grade-level results add an important exception: Wakefield Hills leads grade 3 ELA at 23.2%, while Greenbush leads the other three grade-subject comparisons, including grade 4 math at 43.0%.
Results moved in opposite directions by subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26: all three schools’ ELA proficiency fell, by 3.3 to 4.0 points, while math rose by 5.2 to 8.8 points. SchoolDigger’s latest statewide rankings also place Greenbush highest, at the 40th percentile, followed by Horgan at the 15th and Wakefield Hills at the 9th; those rankings are a separate measure from proficiency. Context differs, too: student–teacher ratios range from 10.9 at Wakefield Hills to 14.3 at Horgan, while free/reduced-lunch rates range from 51.05% at Greenbush to 70.11% at Horgan. These figures describe different school contexts but do not by themselves explain the results.
