Hugh B. Bain Middle School is a well rounded school with an abundant amount of extra curricular activities offered through Bain +2 (after school program), respectful students, and caring teachers that go above and beyond.

The school is be suitable academically and the teachers are doing a fine job teaching. The majority of the students are respectful, but as in any school, there are some that need further teachings in respect.

Hugh B. Bain is a high performing middle school. The school's motto is 'traditionally the best' because it is a school that challenges students academically. Students are respectful and participate in many community service activities throughout the year. Bain upholds its traditions and celebrates its diversity. This school provides students with the support services and help they need to be successful. Bain is an excellent school.

I have found Bain Middle School to not have a suitable amount of athletic programs for the children and extracurricular activities. I find the parents to be uninvolved and the academic programs superior in both of the other middle schools.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Rhode Island used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Rhode Island. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
