Summary:
ZIP code 02915 has one middle school, Riverside Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 549 students; the supplied context figures include a 10.9 student–teacher ratio and a 57.92% free/reduced-lunch rate. There are no other middle schools in this list to compare locally. In 2025–26, Riverside’s proficiency was below the state in ELA, mathematics and science, with the largest gap in ELA: 20.9% versus 33.1%, compared with gaps of 7.2 points in mathematics and 10.9 in science. The main takeaway is that results trail statewide levels across all three subjects.
Riverside is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this ZIP code because it is the only one listed. Within its results, mathematics stands out as the strongest subject at 24.7%, while science is lowest at 20.2%, a 4.5-point difference; ELA is 20.9%. Grade-level results show an important exception: eighth-grade mathematics is 31.1%, 0.9 points above the state’s 30.2%. Seventh grade is the clearest concern relative to state results: Riverside is 16.4% in ELA versus 32.0% statewide and 17.0% in mathematics versus 27.9%. These contrasts show why the all-grades figures do not tell the whole story.
Recent results are mixed, with a slight overall decline and a widening gap from the district. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Riverside gained 2.0 points in mathematics, but fell 1.5 points in ELA and 2.0 in science; its three-subject average slipped from 22.4% to 21.9%, while the East Providence average rose from 29.5% to 30.7%. SchoolDigger lists Riverside at 42 of 68 schools, the 38th percentile, with 2 stars for 2025–26; its percentile was also 38th in each of the two prior supplied years. The enrollment, ratio and lunch-rate figures describe the school’s context, but this one-school list cannot show how it compares with similar schools, and state results for 2024–25 were not supplied.
