My son went to this school for 1st grade and he really enjoyed his teacher. The school counselor was great when they were made aware that his father was joining the service and he was gone for 6 months out of the school year. They were really helpful when he was having a hard day. Also, the school always had some sort of community charity going on. Very happy with this school system.

My child isa first grade student in ms. Velleca's class. He loves going to school everyday. Last year my husband died suddenly, and all the parents an staff, worked out meals, schedules, of when te meals would be delivered. I greatly appreciat what very one has done for my family during this crisis that was so unexpected. I don't know what i would've don without the help of everyone. I was blessed, with all of their help. Thank you to everyone who helped out, you all were amazing to our family!

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.
