My 9 yr old attends this school, he is doing well and I believe its mostly because of our invlovement as parents. Parents really need to understand the vital role they should play in their children's education. We have a lot of responsiblities and we can start by helping out our teachers. They have a tough job already. Parent of four

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.
