My son started this year in Mrs O'Neil's K-O class. We are pleased with his transition and interest in school. Thanks for the open house and ongoing communication.

My son loves JFK! He started kindergarten there in the middle of last year and now he is in first grade. His kindergarten teacher did a great job of helping him transition into his new class. Both of his teachers are wonderful, caring and motivating. All of the staff are friendly and they seem to know each student by name. We have been very pleased with our experience at JFK.

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.
