This school is only the worst school ever! The teachers will allow your child to fail and not help them. They don't care about our children, all they care about is having a place to earn a lousy pay check. The staffs' communication system doesn't even exists. Please don't send your child to this school if you don't have to. If the State Board Of Education really cares, they would launch an investigation, the records speaks for themselves. They only have parent-teacher conferences when parents have to be at work or during the hours they have to be home to make sure the children gets in the house safely. There's too many problems with our children not being adequately cared for after school hours. As a single parent, I feel like schools like this one does not take into consideration that there are parents that want to be involved in their child's education, but the school does not make it possible for us to be there. This school is dirty, open to whatever and exposes our children to harm because of the lack of staff and security within the school, inside and out.

This school is nothing like the school departmI expected. I was informed nye ent that tjis was one of the best schools in Providence, I disagree. This school is currently failing our children statistically and it is not impressive. Something needs to be done by the school department once it is found that a school is failing based on test scores, teacher quality and even parent involvement. Don't you care about our children?

About the tests

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.
