Summary

RINI Middle College is a Providence, Rhode Island, high school serving grades 9–12, with 462 students. Its academic results vary by subject: 11th-grade English is a relative strength, but mathematics is a concern. Most notably, just 7% of 10th graders met the PSAT10 math proficiency standard, compared with 29% statewide—a 23-point gap.

Compared with nearby schools, RINI stands out more in some subjects than others: it has the second-highest results among nearby schools in 11th-grade English and math, 10th-grade English, and science, with Classical High School scoring higher in each. Against the state, however, 11th-grade English is the exception: RINI is at 51% versus 48% statewide, while it trails in 10th-grade English (42% versus 56%), 11th-grade math (15% versus 24%), and science (25% versus 31%). Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 78%, matching its district but below the state’s 86%.

RINI’s results show progress in some areas, but not across the board: science rose 12 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and 11th-grade English rose 9 points, while 10th-grade math fell 3 points and its gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 25th percentile in 2023–24 to the 40th percentile in 2025–26, earning 2 stars; it ranks 35th of 58 Rhode Island high schools. Its student–teacher ratio is relatively low at 12.1, compared with a nearby-school average of 15.7, and 84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, near the local average. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves English learners rose from the 27th to the 62nd percentile; its measure for male students fell from the 70th to the 24th percentile.
