Summary

Gaudet Middle School is a public middle school located in Middletown, Rhode Island, serving 457 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Middletown School District, which is ranked 20 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gaudet Middle School's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly below the Middletown district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with a stronger showing on the Next Generation Science Assessment (NGSA). The school particularly excels in serving English Language Learners (ELLs) and Special Education students, ranking 2nd and 10th, respectively, among Rhode Island middle schools for these subgroups. However, Gaudet's performance for other student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is more in line with the state and district averages.

Gaudet Middle School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, with its ranking among Rhode Island middle schools fluctuating between the low 20s and high 20s. This stability suggests the school has been able to maintain a solid level of academic performance, even as the state's overall rankings and ratings have changed. However, the school's proximity to higher-performing neighboring schools, such as Archie R. Cole Middle School and Wickford Middle School, presents both challenges and opportunities for Gaudet to continue improving its core academic areas of ELA and Mathematics.
