Below, see which Rhode Island schools followed the state's top performers, and compare each school's college readiness index from US News as well as its proficiency results and student/teacher ratios.

Note on academic indicators, below: As part of its assessment and ranking, US News creates a College Readiness Index score to reflect how many students take AP and IB exams, and how they perform (the maximum index score is 100). A school's bronze, silver or gold medal status is based on this score. Math and reading proficiency scores indicate what percentage of students were at or above proficiency in RI's NECAP testing in both subjects.
