RHAM Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In 2024-2025, 60.3% of 7th graders and 62% of 8th graders were proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50.4% and 50.7%, respectively. Similarly, 57.9% of 7th graders and 55.2% of 8th graders were proficient or better in SBAC/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 43.2% and 40.8%. The school's performance in NGSS/Science for 8th grade is also consistently higher than the state average, with 63.9% proficient or better in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 50.3%. RHAM Middle School's strong performance is particularly noteworthy among Hispanic students, ranking 7th out of 146 Connecticut middle schools in this subgroup for the 2020-2021 school year, with a 5-star rating. The school's performance for special education students is also impressive, ranking 10th out of 36 Connecticut middle schools in this subgroup for the 2021-2022 school year, with a 4-star rating.

While RHAM Middle School's academic performance is generally higher than nearby schools, such as Elisabeth M. Bennet Academy, Mansfield Middle School, and Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School, the school faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 11.4% in 2023-2024 to 20% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's performance for white students and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, with 2-star and 2-4 star ratings, respectively, in recent years. These factors suggest that RHAM Middle School serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
