Both of my daughters go to this school. I think it is excellent. The building is beautiful, and the teachers are excellent. They really care about their students. My oldest daughter struggled a little in her first year in middle school, and the teachers asked to have a conference with my husband and I. Almost all of her teachers attended (it was during school hours, one couldn't make it due to an assembly); they worked with us to put together a plan to help our daughter succeed. It worked well and got her back on track. Whenever we have sent emails to any of their teachers, we always get a quick response. The band teacher, Mrs. Ricci, is awesome!

This is a wonderful school and my daughter was there for 8th grade last year, its first year. My son will be attending the 6th grade this September, he is excited. I think it offers so much for the students as far as being up with technology, space for students, and offers many activites sor after school activities and sports.

Children are placed into 6 groups. Depending on which group of teachers the children are assigned for their group, the quality varies greatly. The building is outdated, but this will change with the opening of the new middle school next fall. Overall, one of the reasons we moved to this area was the rating of the school experience in Lincoln. With few exceptions, I am not that impressed

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.
