Woonsocket Middle @ Villa Nova consistently ranks in the bottom tier of Rhode Island middle schools, ranking 64th out of 66 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's proficiency rates in RICAS English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 8.7% of students proficient in ELA and 5.5% in Math, compared to the state averages of 33.1% and 30% respectively. When compared to nearby schools, such as Vincent J. Gallagher Middle in Smithfield, which had 48.7% and 48% proficiency rates, Woonsocket Middle @ Villa Nova performs significantly worse.

The school struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom half of Rhode Island middle schools for most subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, African American students, Hispanic students, and white students. The school's lowest-performing subgroup is low socioeconomic status students, who ranked 57th out of 62 middle schools in the state. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $19,700 in the 2022-2023 school year and relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for the school to re-evaluate its resource allocation and strategies to better support student learning.
