High Schools in Woonsocket

The Woonsocket High School is the sole high school located in the city of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. While the school serves a large student population of 1,621, its academic performance is below the state average, ranking 40th out of 61 high schools in Rhode Island for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woonsocket High School's standardized test scores are a particular area of concern, with only 27.7% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better on the 2023-2024 SAT/English Language Arts test, compared to the state average of 47.8%. In mathematics, the performance is even more dire, with just 9.5% of 11th-graders scoring proficient or better on the 2023-2024 SAT/Mathematics test, well below the state average of 21.7%. The school's spending per student of $11,735 for the 2020-2021 school year suggests that resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning.

Despite the challenges faced by Woonsocket High School, the school has shown some bright spots, such as its performance on the 2023-2024 NGSA/Science test, where 17.4% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the district average of 13.2%. However, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (74.15%) indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income population, which may be a contributing factor to its overall academic underperformance.
