Schools in Warwick
Warwick Public Schools presents a real, genuinely mixed 2026 picture this record discloses honestly: a genuinely strong and improving graduation-rate trend (approximately 90%, above the national average) sits alongside a genuinely weaker proficiency-testing ranking (bottom half of Rhode Island's 62 school districts).

Learn moreA Real, Genuinely Strong and Improving Graduation-Rate Trend
Warwick Public Schools' cited four-year graduation rate ran approximately 90% (up from 83% over five school years, per one citation) -- a real, genuinely strong and genuinely improving trend. A separate citation put the figure at 90.5%, above a cited 86.5% national average.
A Real, Disclosed Tension: A Genuinely Weaker Proficiency-Testing Ranking
This record discloses a real, disclosed tension directly rather than featuring only the graduation-rate trend: the same district was also cited as ranking in the bottom 50% of Rhode Island's 62 school districts based on combined math and reading proficiency testing data (2022-2023 school year), with an average individual-school ranking of 3/10 on one aggregator's scale -- a genuinely weaker proficiency picture than the graduation-rate trend alone would suggest.
Top-Ranked Individual Schools
The top-ranked Warwick public schools cited on one aggregator were Scott School, Park School, and Cedar Hill School -- families should confirm a specific target address's assigned school directly, given real school-to-school variance within the district.
A Private-School Option Worth Distinguishing
Bishop Hendricken High School, cited as a 'top-rated' high school near Warwick's Buttonwoods neighborhood, is a private (Catholic, all-boys) institution, not part of the Warwick Public Schools district -- this record discloses this distinction directly rather than implying it is a public-school option available to any Warwick address.
Confirm a Specific School Assignment and Its Current Data Directly
Given the real, disclosed tension between Warwick's graduation-rate trend and its proficiency-testing ranking, families should confirm a specific target address's actual assigned school and its current, individual performance data directly with Warwick Public Schools or the Rhode Island Department of Education before committing to a specific neighborhood for school reasons.
Key takeaways
- Warwick Public Schools' graduation rate ran approximately 90%-90.5%, above a cited 86.5% national average, and up from 83% five years prior.
- The same district was separately cited in the bottom 50% of Rhode Island's 62 districts on combined math/reading proficiency testing -- a real, disclosed tension this record does not omit.

- Bishop Hendricken High School, cited as top-rated, is a private institution outside the Warwick Public Schools district.
