My son has been at Hopkins Hill for three years and I feel that even with the change in administration, the school is a positive learning environment. The teachers that my son has had have been nurturing and show that they love their jobs. The PTA is always holding special events to help create a strong school/family connection. I could not ask for a better school for my son!

Another new pricipal priciple within just a few years. She came from a teaching position witch she bounced around in from grade to grade and has stated that she has had no administrative experience. She acts more like a dictator than an elementary school priciple but, so don't a lot of the teachers employed there with an exception of a few who you can tell really love the job and treat the kids as human beings and not subjects. The school in my opinion has really gone down hill and all the pressure from the state seems to make things worse, it seems like there is no fun in learning anymore.

New principal has made wonderful changes to support the academic successes of all students. She is a smart woman, out for the best success of this school, and each and every child. She states it as she sees it, which some parents don't want to hear. I cannot comment about Special Education director, as I do not have direct contact there.

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.
