Summary:
The 02919 zip code area of Johnston, Rhode Island is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools display a range of academic performance, with Brown Avenue School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while other schools lag behind.
Brown Avenue School stands out as the top performer, with 47.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district average of 23.2% and the state average of 31.6%. The school also has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 30.23%.

While some schools like Sarah Dyer Barnes School have shown improvement, there is still room for the entire Johnston district to raise student achievement and bring all schools up to state proficiency levels. Identifying and replicating the practices of the higher-performing schools could benefit the entire system.
