Summary:
The 02889 zip code in Warwick, Rhode Island is home to a single public middle school, Warwick Veterans Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 1,066 students. While the school is ranked 32 out of 66 Rhode Island middle schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its academic performance on standardized tests has been mixed compared to the Warwick district and state averages.
Warwick Veterans Middle School's proficiency rates on the RICAS (Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System) tests in English Language Arts (32.5%) and Mathematics (25.7%) were below the Warwick district averages (32.3% and 29.7% respectively) in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's science proficiency rate on the NGSA test was also significantly lower at 19%, compared to the Warwick district average of 28.7%. This trend has been declining, with even lower proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,098 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 42.96% in 2023-2024 suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and require additional resources and support to address their unique needs.
