Summary:
ZIP code 02889 has one listed middle school, Warwick Veterans Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 1,059 students in the Warwick area. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency rates were 29.6% in English language arts (ELA), 25.8% in math and 26.6% in science. The most important finding for families is that the school was below Rhode Island’s rate in all three subjects, with the largest gap in math: 6.1 percentage points.
There is no second school in the ZIP-code list to compare as a local leader or trailer, so the most useful distinctions are within the school. Sixth-grade math stands out positively: 30.3% were proficient, 1.2 points above the state’s 29.1%; by contrast, seventh- and eighth-grade math were 5.2 and 5.5 points below their state rates. ELA was closer to the state benchmark, but still lower in every grade, with the largest gap in grade 7 at 4.2 points. SchoolDigger rates the school three stars and ranks it 35th of 68 statewide, at the 49th percentile.
Recent results moved in different directions rather than showing broad improvement: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell 2.9 percentage points, math was nearly unchanged, rising 0.1 point, and science rose 7.6 points. Over the same period, the Warwick district increased in all three subjects, including 2.8 points in math and 3.2 in science. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also varied: 39th of 64 in 2023–24, 32nd of 66 in 2024–25, then 35th of 68 in 2025–26. The school reports an 11.3 student-teacher ratio and a 50.05% free/reduced-lunch rate for 2024–25; these offer context about the school, not an explanation for its results. With only one listed school, families cannot use this ZIP-code data to compare schools against one another.
