This school wasn't challenging and was very boring, not to mention they just try too hard to seem so intelligent. The bullying program is nice, although it doesn't help bullying stop... At least it was pretty clean. But the administration watched us like we were prisoners in a high security jail. There was no way to do anything. Some teachers I liked, others were laughable. I hate the grade system, they didn't have set letter grades, just numbers. It made me feel like I was still in elementary school. In all honesty, after attending this school for three long years, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I can't believe how tedious and obnoxious it was to go to this school, I didn't even have to try to get good grades. But maybe that's just me.

The simplicity of web design, and the educational goals outlined, not to mention the willingness to accept criticism, all blend together to create a healthy learning environment. Bravo!

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.
