Summary

Calcutt Middle School is a public middle school located in Central Falls, Rhode Island, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 469 students. Despite receiving relatively high spending per student, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10 middle schools in Rhode Island over the past decade, with only 7.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6.8% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year.

Calcutt Middle School's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking 62nd out of 66 schools for female students, 58th for male students, 53rd for Hispanic students, and 53rd for low socioeconomic status students. The school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.48% to 97.26% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Interestingly, the student-teacher ratio at Calcutt Middle School has decreased from 16.6 in 2021-2022 to 13.7 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is receiving significant resources, but they are not translating into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Birchwood Middle School in North Providence and Joseph L. McCourt Middle School in Cumberland, Calcutt Middle School's performance is significantly lower, with much higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, as well as higher overall rankings. This suggests that the challenges facing Calcutt Middle School and the Central Falls School District may be systemic, requiring a comprehensive intervention strategy to address the root causes of the academic challenges.
