Middle Schools in Johnston

There is only one middle school located in Johnston, Rhode Island - the Nicholas A. Ferri Middle School. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 32nd out of 60 Rhode Island middle schools in 2021-2022 to 38th out of 64 in 2023-2024, earning a 2-star rating out of 5.

While the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates were closer to the district and state averages in 2022-2023, its Mathematics proficiency rates have consistently lagged behind. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics were below the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate for all grades in 2023-2024 was 21%, slightly below the district average of 21.1%.

The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 45.99% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact academic performance. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $11,447, which is within the typical range, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement.
