this school should NOT be near a BAR, and the teachers should REALLY step up there game, because my CHILD is not understanding anything the teacher is teaching him/her. SO therefore this school in my opinion is BELOW average, due to safety issues and the fact that my child is not learning like how she should be.

I think the work the students get in school is behind what they should be learning,they do not get enough homework and the work they get is behind level if you ask me my son is in second grade adn started there this year is being taught stuff he learned in 1st grade at St Thomas and the year is half over nd he already knows whathe is being taught. I have to go online and print out stuff from website to give him a challenge.The work he gets from school to do at home is done in less than 3 min.

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.
