Calcutt Middle School

Summary:

Calcutt Middle School is a public middle school located in Central Falls, Rhode Island, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 511 students. The school is part of the Central Falls School District, which is ranked 59th out of 60 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Calcutt Middle School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Rhode Island, with a ranking between 45th and 61st out of the state's middle schools over the past decade.

Calcutt Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 6.7% of 7th-grade students and 6.5% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in RICAS English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively, compared to the state averages of 26.8% and 25.9%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.48% to 97.26% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Calcutt Middle School, ranging from $11,192 to $12,483 over the past four school years, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state and district levels.

The data shows a stark contrast in academic performance between Calcutt Middle School and the nearby Blackstone Valley Prep Junior High, Raices Upper Dual Language Academy, and Birchwood Middle School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in RICAS English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger. This suggests a persistent and systemic issue at Calcutt Middle School that has not been adequately addressed, despite the relatively high per-student spending.

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.
