Summary

Chariho Regional Middle School serves 834 students in grades 5–8 in Wood River Junction, Rhode Island. SchoolDigger ranks it 16th of 68 statewide, at the 76th percentile, with four stars. Its clearest relative strength is science: 57% of students are proficient, placing the school third among 10 nearby schools.

Results in all three subjects are above state proficiency rates, but the nearby-school comparison is mixed. Chariho’s science result is 26 percentage points above the state, 4 points above the Chariho district, and 4 points above the nearby-school average of 53%. ELA is 47%, 14 points above the state and 2 above the district, but 6 below the nearby average of 53%; math is 43%, 11 points above the state but 1 below the district and 8 below the nearby average of 51%. The school ranks seventh of 10 nearby schools in both ELA and math. Results also differ by grade: sixth-grade ELA and math were each second-lowest among schools reporting those grades, while eighth-grade ELA was stronger, at 61%.

Scores have risen since 2022–23: ELA gained 7 percentage points, math 3, and science 8, while the school’s gap with the district improved in every subject. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has varied over time, from 90 in 2015–16 to 76 in 2025–26. Chariho has the third-highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools, at 12.4, and a free/reduced-lunch rate of about 30%, the fourth-highest in the group; these are context, not explanations for its results. One subgroup measure stands out: SchoolDigger places the school’s performance for multiracial students at the 55th percentile, down 14 points from the prior year, compared with an overall percentile that fell one point to 76.
