Our students have made incredible academic gains through hard work, discipline, and a new found motivation. The two year student progress is not only noticeable, but impressive. Veazie is proud to be the home of the hardest working teachers, principal/v.p., and assistants in the city. -Grade 6 Teacher

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.
