This is a great school! The teachers are outstanding! We have been very happy with our experience so far!

Posted March 25, 2010

My experience thus far with Centredale school has been very positive. My twins are in seperate kindergarten classrooms and they are engaged academically daily by the teachers. The principal is not very friendly, but she gets the job done. A young boy was bullying my daughter and the leaders were all over it. My children have homework every night. I also appreciate the psychologist on site to work on social skills, as many children need work in this area.

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.
