Burrillville Middle School

Summary:

Burrillville Middle School is a public middle school located in Harrisville, Rhode Island, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 486 students. The school is part of the Burrillville School District, which is ranked 29 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burrillville Middle School has consistently ranked in the lower half of Rhode Island middle schools, with its performance on RICAS tests below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.4% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 25.4%, and only 12.3% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 23%. However, the school's performance in Science, as measured by the NGSA, is slightly better, with 40.3% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the district average of 31.7%. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, combined with its higher per-student spending, suggests that it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some of the nearby higher-performing schools, such as Scituate Middle School, North Cumberland Middle, and Lincoln Middle School, which all have higher RICAS proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics.

In contrast, North Smithfield Middle School, located just 4.35 miles away, is a particularly strong performer, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both ELA and Mathematics, and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The Woonsocket middle schools, which are located within 6-7 miles of Burrillville Middle School, have significantly lower academic performance, with proficiency rates in the single digits for both ELA and Mathematics. The school's low student-teacher ratio could be an asset, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students, but addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's lower academic achievement, such as socioeconomic challenges, could be an area of focus for the Burrillville School District and school leadership.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
