My daughter will be spending her third and final year at Perry Middle School and it has been a great experience. It is an inner city school and when my daughter was assigned this school, every one warned us. It has been nothing short of great. The teachers are very loving and caring for the kids and take then under their wing. There has been a big turn over since my daughter has attended in a very positive way. I wouldn't trade her years here for anything.

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.
