My daughter currently goes to this school. Starting in September she will be going to third grade, and I think the principal Mrs. Cabral does a very good job and the teachers are great. For Central Falls, this is one of the good schools. Melissa

Moved from Cranston of which the school there was not helping my child at all. No support to improve childs performance. This school in Central Falls is excellent. Child got support and help they need. Grades way up.

They have been taking very good care of my daughter, they work with her with speech therapy, (lisp), and she is of the smartest kids in her class, and they all rank high above the national avarage! They go on informative learning fieldtrips and learn something new everyday! Keep up the good work!

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.
