Tiverton Middle School

Q: Is Tiverton Middle School a good school?

Tiverton Middle School ranks 22 nd of 64 Rhode Island middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Tiverton Middle School is a public middle school serving 509 students in grades 5-8 in Tiverton, Rhode Island, which is part of the Tiverton School District. The school's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are generally on par with or slightly above the district averages, but below the state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Tiverton Middle School lags behind top-performing schools like Barrington Middle School and Archie R. Cole Middle School, but outperforms lower-performing schools like Frank E. Thompson Middle and Warwick Veterans Middle. The school's performance is strongest in the earlier grades (5th and 6th), suggesting the need to focus on maintaining academic progress as students advance to higher grades.

Tiverton Middle School's fluctuating ranking and rating over the years indicate a need for consistent improvement efforts to ensure stable and high-quality academic outcomes. The school's relatively lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to nearby schools may contribute to its academic performance, highlighting the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio suggest it has access to resources, but these inputs do not necessarily translate to consistently strong academic results, underscoring the need for effective instructional practices and targeted interventions.

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.
