SLIDES: Rhode Island’s Worst Performing Middle Schools
A GoLocal review of the performance of Rhode Island's public schools — with a focus on middle schools — finds that Cranston, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport, Central Falls, West Warwick, and some charter schools look very similar to Providence’s poorest performing schools.
At Joseph Jenks Middle School in Pawtucket, only 8 percent of students are meeting or exceeding expectations for English Language Arts (ELA). Math results are even worse — just 6.45% meet or exceed expectations.
