My daughter has went to this school and I must say there security for who can pick you child up is extremely poor, they do not go by the list of people you approved to pick you child up and the staff at the front desk is down right rude! nd so are some of the teachers. But my daughters 3rd grade teacher MRs. M is awesome.

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.
