Summary:
Scituate has one middle school, Scituate Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 260 students; its strongest headline is that 2025–26 results were above Rhode Island’s statewide figures in English language arts, math, and science.
Scituate Middle School leads the local picture in all three reported subjects, though there is no other Scituate middle school in this data to rank above or below it. ELA is its largest advantage over the state: 40.5% compared with 33.1%, a 7.4 percentage-point lead. Math is 35.2% versus 31.9% (+3.3 points), and science is 33.8% versus 31.1% (+2.7). Seventh grade is a particular strength in ELA and math: its results of 45.7% and 42.0% exceed the corresponding state figures by 13.7 and 14.1 points. The school’s grade-level ELA and math results are lower in grades 6 and 8 than in grade 7.
Recent results show that the school’s above-state standing does not mean every subject is improving: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, science fell 13.9 points, from 47.7% to 33.8%, ELA declined 2.9 points, and math rose 1.2 points. Science remains above the state, but the school moved from 4.5 points above the Scituate district to 0.8 points below it; in math, it remained below the district by 6.3 points in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s ranking also slipped from 19th of 64 schools in 2023–24 to 24th of 68 in 2025–26, while its reported percentile moved from 70 to 65. The reported student-teacher ratio is 11.3, and the 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate is 21.92%; these figures describe the school, not the reason for its results. Because the list contains just one school, it cannot show how Scituate compares with other local middle schools.
