Principal is a lackey for anyone who has a problem. Will not back up decisions of others in educational team if decisions are not nice to hear for parents. School is unable to provide basic needs for services to be provided effectively.

I went there for elementary school and I loved it! It was so much fun and the teachers are great, and the principal works hard to make the school a better place!

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.
