Middle Schools in West Warwick

There is only one middle school located in West Warwick, Rhode Island - John F. Deering Middle School. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state.

John F. Deering Middle School is ranked 56th out of 64 Rhode Island middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 9.9% compared to the state average of 14.4%. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate for all grades in 2023-2024 was 12.9%, which is lower than the West Warwick district average of 14.1%.

Despite the relatively high spending per student of $14,271 in the 2020-2021 school year, the school's academic performance remains poor. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 57.34% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests the school may face additional challenges in supporting the needs of its student population. Overall, the data indicates that John F. Deering Middle School is a low-performing school that is consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Rhode Island, and further investigation would be necessary to identify potential areas for improvement.
