Summary:
ZIP code 02885 has one middle school, Kickemuit Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the Bristol Warren district. Its 2025–26 all-grade results were 46% in English Language Arts (ELA), 40% in mathematics, and 54% in science; each was below the district result, by 2, 3, and 1 percentage points, respectively. The clearest overall strength is that Kickemuit was above the state in all three subjects: by 13 points in ELA, 8 in mathematics, and 23 in science.
Because Kickemuit is the only school listed, there is no meaningful top-versus-bottom comparison within the ZIP code. Its strongest state comparison is science, while grade 7 ELA is the clearest relative concern: 38% of students were proficient, 6 points above the state, compared with a 22-point state advantage in grade 6 ELA. Results were above the state in every reported grade and subject, but the margins vary. Kickemuit’s all-grade scores were below the district’s, even though its grade-level scores were slightly above the district’s wherever same-grade comparisons were available. Parents may want to consider both views rather than relying on one alone.
Results changed in mixed directions from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA fell by 6 points, from 51% to 46%, while mathematics rose by 1 point and science by 4. The school’s SchoolDigger rating is 4 stars; its rank moved from 15th of 64 schools (77th percentile) in 2023–24 to 17th of 68 (75th percentile) in 2025–26. Kickemuit reports 633 students and a student–teacher ratio of 12.4; its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 39%. These figures provide context, but do not explain the test results.
