My daughter loves her school. Great Kindergarten teachers and librarians. Very active and involved principal. Improvement needed on communication; informing parents of events, activities etc.. Details and specifics are needed. Overall good school.

This school did an exellent job in writing, reading, and math, however they have to pay attention to the male students in 5th grade, in the area of reading and math.

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.
