Middle Schools in Central Falls

The middle schools in Central Falls, Rhode Island, face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students. The district has two middle schools: Calcutt Middle School and Raices Upper Dual Language Acd, both of which have consistently low academic performance and rankings compared to the state average.

Neither school stands out as a high-performing institution, with both Calcutt Middle School and Raices Upper Dual Language Acd ranking in the bottom 10% of Rhode Island middle schools. The schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state average, indicating that students are facing significant challenges in their educational outcomes. Additionally, both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The data also suggests that the middle schools in Central Falls may be facing resource constraints, with relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratios compared to other schools in the state. This lack of resources could be a contributing factor to the schools' poor academic performance. Despite these challenges, the data shows a lack of significant improvement or progress in the schools' performance over the past few years, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the educational system and interventions in the district.
