Summary:

The school is part of the South Kingstown School District, which is ranked 16th out of 59 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Curtis Corner Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Rhode Island, ranking 17th out of 64 schools in the state for the 2022-2023 school year. The school's performance on the RICAS exams is impressive, with 52.9% of all students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 37.1% proficient or better in Mathematics, outperforming the South Kingstown district averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in 7th grade, where 59.3% of students are proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 29%. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 81.8% of students identifying as White, in contrast to some nearby schools like Frank E. Thompson Middle in Newport, which has a much more diverse student population.

The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Curtis Corner Middle School is relatively low, at 20.15% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than some nearby schools like Gaudet Middle School (36.34% free/reduced lunch) and Frank E. Thompson Middle (76.74% free/reduced lunch). This suggests that there may be socioeconomic disparities in the region, which could have implications for the resources and support available to students from lower-income families.

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.
