Summary:
Zip code 02878 has one middle school, Tiverton Middle School, serving grades 4–8 and enrolling 499 students, so families have one school in this data set rather than several local options to compare. In 2025–26, 39% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 35% in math, and 41% in science, compared with Rhode Island rates of 33%, 32%, and 31%. The main takeaway is that the school was above the state in all three subjects, by 6 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 10 in science.
Science is the school’s clearest standout, while math has the narrowest advantage over the state. Its science proficiency was 1 point above the Tiverton district’s 40%; in contrast, its ELA and math results were 3 and 4 points below district rates. Within the school, eighth-grade science was especially strong: 47% proficient, 18 points above the state’s 29%. Results vary by grade, though: seventh-grade ELA was 1 point below the state, and sixth- and eighth-grade math were slightly below. Fifth-grade science was 2 points above the state.
Recent all-grades results fell in ELA and math, while science was essentially unchanged: ELA declined 4 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math fell 3 points, and science rose by less than 1 point. The three-subject average decreased 2 points, from 41% to 39%. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and ranks it 21st of 61 in its district, at the 66th percentile. Its reported percentile rose from 66 in 2023–24 to 73 in 2024–25, then slipped to 63 in 2025–26, a net decline of 3 points. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 12.7, and 35% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures add context but do not establish why results differ.
