Summary

Edward Martin Middle serves 564 students in grades 6–8 in East Providence, Rhode Island. Its latest results make it the strongest nearby school overall in ELA, math, and science, although it does not outperform the state in every subject.

Compared with nearby schools, Edward Martin has the highest all-grades results in all three subjects: 30% in ELA, 32% in math, and 29% in science; the next-highest results were 29% at Park View Middle School in ELA and science, and 25% at Riverside Middle School in math. Against the state, the school is about level in math (32.0% versus 31.9%), but trails in ELA (30% versus 33%) and science (29% versus 31%).
