2020's Top Schools In Rhode Island: Niche

A search list from Niche shows 100 of the top schools in Rhode Island.

Niche.com, which specializes in all different types of rankings, including schools, has created a new list that is a bit different than the usual lists the company is known for. In this one, Niche has included both public and private schools in Rhode Island. That may not sound different than Niche's usual rankings but this list includes both private and public schools and also includes elementary, middle and high schools all in the same list.

Please note that this is not a ranking, but a search list, where you can see and compare all schools grouped together, organized by Overall Grade.

All of the schools included in the list below received top marks from the website, earning grades ranging from A+ to B+.

Niche arrives at the rankings by compiling user reviews and data from the U.S. Department of Education, including grades, culture and diversity, health and safety, sports and more. You can see the methodology here.
