Summary:
Rhode Island Nurses Institute Middle College includes one high school, RINI Middle College, serving grades 9–12 and 462 students. With no other schools in this area’s list, families are looking at this school’s results against Rhode Island’s, rather than choosing among local schools. The most important concern is grade 10 mathematics: in 2025–26, just 6.8% of students were proficient on the PSAT10, 22.5 percentage points below the state rate.
RINI Middle College is both the top and bottom school in the list, so there is no local school-to-school leader or comparison. Its strongest latest result was grade 11 SAT English Language Arts: 50.6% proficient, 2.8 points above Rhode Island. Other results were below state levels: grade 11 SAT mathematics was 15.2% versus 23.5% statewide, grade 10 PSAT10 English was 42.1% versus 56.0%, and all-grades science was 24.7% versus 31.1%. The 2024–25 graduation rate was also below the state’s, at 78.0% compared with 85.5%.
Results changed in different directions by grade and assessment. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, grade 11 SAT English rose 24.0 points and SAT mathematics rose 9.9 points; SAT English moved from 25 points below the state to 2.8 points above it. In contrast, grade 10 PSAT10 English fell 9.0 points and mathematics fell 1.7 points. Science improved by 10.9 points, to 24.7%, but remained below the state. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 46th of 61 schools (25th percentile) in 2023–24 to 35th of 58 (40th percentile) in 2025–26. The school’s reported student–teacher ratio is 12.1, and 84.2% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25; these are useful context measures, not explanations for its results. Because the list has just one school, it cannot show how RINI compares with nearby schools.
