Best High Schools in Rhode Island for English Language Learner Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Rhode Island!

Every year, the Rhode Island Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, English Language Learner students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

Year after year, SchoolDigger is always the first to publish Rhode Island test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.

The list is updated annually upon the release of the PSAT10 and SAT and NGSA test scores by the Rhode Island Department of Education. The most recent update was on Friday, October 18, 2024.
