Summary:
ZIP code 02908 has one listed middle school, Nathanael Greene Middle, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 815 students; the available results describe a school in Providence. In 2025–26, it was above the Providence district in all three reported subjects, but below Rhode Island in each. The most important finding for parents is that the school’s results were 11.9 percentage points below the state in English language arts (ELA), 15.0 points below in math, and 16.6 points below in science.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison within the ZIP code because Nathanael Greene Middle is the only school listed. Its strongest comparison is ELA: 21.2% of students met the reported benchmark, 4.0 points above the district, compared with 17.2% districtwide and 33.1% statewide. Math results were 16.9%, just 0.1 point above the district, and science was 14.5%, 0.2 point above it. ELA results stand out in grades 7 and 8 relative to the district: they were 9.8 and 9.3 points higher, respectively. Grade 6 ELA was nearly even with the district, 14.7% versus 14.9%; all three grades remained below state results.
Recent results show different patterns by subject: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 25.2% to 21.2%, while math edged up from 16.0% to 16.9% and science from 14.4% to 14.5%. The ELA advantage over the district narrowed from 7.5 to 4.0 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 48th of 68, at the 29th percentile, with two stars; its percentile was 34th in 2023–24 and 30th in 2024–25. The school reports a 15:1 student–teacher ratio and a 90.06% free/reduced-lunch rate, useful context about the school but not evidence of what drives its results. Because there is only one listed school and prior-year state results are not provided, the data cannot show how schools vary across the ZIP code or how the state gaps changed over time.
