i feel overall arliington is much better than providence my son is much happier here an his grades are better than last year the principal mr d is real good with the children the only thing that concerns me is unlike prov the teachers except for grade k dont walk the kids to the door an watch who they leave with this is a big safety concern.mr d does cross childrenand i know he pays attention i appauld him but i still feel the teachers should see who their students are leaving with.id like to see some feedback from other parents.how do you feel about this? please reply . our job as parents is to protect our children. if enough parents agree with me maybe we can have the teachers pay attention. please reply.

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.
