Summary

Woonsocket Middle at Hamlet serves 537 students in grades 6–8 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and is part of the Woonsocket district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 11% in English language arts (ELA), 8% in math, and 6% in science, well below state rates in each subject. The clearest concern is science: results were 3 percentage points below the district, compared with results close to the district average in ELA and math.

Compared with nearby schools, the school’s results are low overall, but it does outperform some peers in ELA and math. Among 10 nearby schools, average proficiency was 36% in ELA, 36% in math, and 34% in science—about 25, 28, and 28 points above Hamlet, respectively. Hamlet had the lowest nearby science result; the next-lowest was 10% at Woonsocket Middle @ Villa Nova. Hamlet scored higher than Villa Nova and Founders Academy in ELA and math. Grade 8 is a particular weak spot: ELA was 6%, the lowest among nearby schools and 27 points below the state; math was 5%, also the lowest nearby result. Grade 6 and 7 ELA and math results were above the district’s same-grade results.

Over time, ELA rose from 10% in 2022–23 to 11% in 2025–26, and math increased from 6% to 8%; science fell from 14% to 6%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 61st of 68 statewide, at the 10th percentile with 1 star. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 10.5, among the lowest in the nearby group, while 73% of students were reported eligible for free or reduced-price lunch—contextual figures, not explanations for test results. One SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: its statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students is at the 50th percentile, compared with the school’s 10th-percentile overall ranking.
