Archie R. Cole Middle School

4^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 68 Rhode Island Middle Schools

Better than 94% of Rhode Island middle schools

Summary

Archie R. Cole Middle School serves 597 students in grades 6–8 in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and SchoolDigger ranks it 4th of 68 Rhode Island schools for 2025–2026, at the 94th percentile with five stars. The most important finding is that Cole is strong across all three tested subjects, ranking first among the 11 nearby schools in math and science and second in ELA.

Cole’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 65% in ELA, 67% in math, and 70% in science. Those results put it ahead of the state by 32, 35, and 38 percentage points, respectively, and ahead of the East Greenwich district by 5, 3, and 4 points. Compared with nearby-school averages, Cole was ahead by 25 points in ELA, 30 in math, and 29 in science. Its ELA result trails Barrington Middle School (72%); Cole leads Barrington in math (67% versus 59%) and science (70% versus 64%). One relative weak spot is sixth-grade ELA: Cole’s 54% matches the district but trails Wickford Middle School and Barrington.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023, though the pattern varies: ELA rose 2 points, math rose 8, and science rose 16, with science fluctuating along the way. Cole’s statewide standing is close to Barrington’s: SchoolDigger ranks Barrington 5th, at the 93rd percentile with five stars. SchoolDigger’s measure for Special Education Students is at the 79th percentile, below Cole’s overall 94th percentile, though it improved from the 69th percentile the prior year. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.1, close to the nearby-school average of 11.9; the free/reduced-lunch rate was 14%, compared with a 40% nearby average, which describes school context rather than explaining test results. Historical state scores are not available to show how Cole’s state-level advantage has changed over time.
