Summary

Scituate Middle School serves 260 students in grades 6–8 in North Scituate, Rhode Island. SchoolDigger ranks it 24th of 68 Rhode Island schools, at the 65th percentile with 3 stars. Its overall test results are above state averages in ELA, math and science, although math falls below the district result. The clearest takeaway is that Scituate’s strongest edge is in ELA, where it outperforms most comparable nearby middle schools.

Compared with nearby schools serving only grades 6–8, Scituate ranked second in ELA, with 41% proficient versus a peer average of 32%—a 9-point advantage. It ranked third in math, at 35% versus 27% on average, and third in science, at 34% versus a peer average of under 25.3%. Its results also exceeded state averages by 7 points in ELA, 3 in math and 3 in science. Against the Scituate district, however, the school was 1 point higher in ELA and 6 points lower in math; science was 1 point lower. Seventh-grade math stands out: 42% were proficient, higher than every nearby school’s seventh-grade result. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students was at the 21st percentile, 44 points below its overall percentile, and had fallen 23 points from the prior year.

Results have improved modestly in math: proficiency rose 2 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while ELA fell 3 points. Science finished 4 points above its 2022–23 result, but dropped from a 58% peak in 2023–24 to 34% in 2025–26. The math gap with the district narrowed from 11 points to 6 points over that period. Earlier state test scores aren’t provided, so the longer-term change relative to the state cannot be assessed. Scituate’s student–teacher ratio was 11.3, below the nearby-school average of 13.1, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 22%, compared with a nearby-school average of 57%. Its SchoolDigger percentile was unchanged from the prior year and 5 points below its 2023–24 level.
