Scituate Middle School is the best. My daughter goes there and is the state spelling champion and her teachers really helped her.

Academically sound school. Read the recent SALT report about this school. It is a high performing middle school that is kid friendly, and filled with teachers who love to teach. I'm proud to say that my child attends this school!

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.
