Summary

Woonsocket Middle @ Villa Nova is a public middle school in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, serving 542 students in grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, about 9% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 6% in math, and 10% in science. The school’s results were below the state in all three subjects, and its SchoolDigger ranking was at the 6th percentile statewide with 0 stars. The clearest concern is that proficiency is low across subjects, with math the weakest result.

Compared with nearby grade 6–8 schools, Villa Nova ranked second-lowest in ELA, lowest in math, and second-lowest in science. Its ELA and math rates were also below the Woonsocket district’s—by about 3 and 2 percentage points, respectively—while science was about 1 point above the district. Against the state, Villa Nova was behind by about 25 points in ELA, 26 in math, and 21 in science. Eighth-grade ELA is a relative bright spot: about 11% were proficient, around 3 points above the district, and ahead of Woonsocket Middle at Hamlet and Founders Academy in that grade. Seventh-grade math is especially weak, with proficiency reported as under 5%.

Results have shifted modestly rather than rising steadily: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA increased by 1 point, math by 1 point, and science fell by 1 point. The school’s gaps with its district narrowed in ELA and math, and science moved from below the district to slightly above it. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 2 in 2023–2024 to 6, but Villa Nova remains below nearby schools with current rankings, which range from the 10th percentile at Hamlet to the 97th at North Cumberland Middle. Its reported student-teacher ratio, 9.6, is the lowest among nearby schools with data, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 68%, compared with a nearby-school average of 48%; these are context, not explanations for scores. One SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: its “White Students” percentile rose from 2 to 17, a 15-point increase, though it remains low overall.
