My granddaughter goes there and she is doing very well in all her subjects. She loves it there. I feel welcome whenever there is a program put on for parents and friends. It is a very welcoming place with the children's work on display.

My oldest daughter has went through this school, and now my son will be going into his third year. I feel that Saylesville elementary is a very good school. The teachers and staff are caring and very involved with the children not only academic but emotionaly as well. I think that the Lincoln school system overall is the best I can do for them.

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.
