The principal is great...very open to ideas and suggestions. Teachers are very nice and care for their students. Forest Park is a wonderful community. The only thing I can say that I dont like is that some of the stay at home moms from this school can really make a working mom feel unwelcomed. But the good in this school definately outweighs the bad.

Insightful leadership, thoughtful and caring teachers dedicated to going above and beyond for the students, the school and their own education. Amazing resourses offered to the children. A wonderful generous community and a great place to grow

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.
