I have 3 children two are still in Anna McCabe. The "McCabe Family" has been so wonderful to our family. Not just the teaching aspect of the whole picture. My oldest Graduated from SHS and has a wonderful start as a young person in this busy world. I would highly recommend this school and I am willing to stay appart of the McCabe Family when all of my children graduate. Thank you for reading! Hope this helps.

This elementary school is wonderful! Both of my children attended this school. They enjoyed learning and growing as students. The staff at Anna M Mcabe is fantastic! They really put all their energy into teaching the children and getting to know the best way to teach the children. They also are very attentive to the children and really get to know each child individualy to help them be the best student they can be. I would recomend any parent to send their child to this elementry school.

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.
