Our daughter entered this school from a private kindergarten which was wonderful. From the moment school started there were nothing but problems with the principal and teacher. Although we contended she was placed inappropriately, I was told "this isn't private school and this is how we do it." The Principal and teacher were unwilling to listen to us and were unbending in their assertion that we would just have to live with the placement. Very dissapointing and we'll be moving out of this district..

this school is an ok school if it wasnt for some of the staff. My child has had food taken away from other children. the lunch monitors are not adaquite to handle all the children. My sons teacher is gone at least once a week, when we spoke to her she said she is on an a assignemnt. i have spoke to other parents in the class and they feel the same way she is not a teacher material. Other parents and myself have sent emails to the superintendent hopefully he rectifies the situation

Warwick Neck School is located in the middle of a secluded wooded area away from traffic. The teachers, staff and PTO are all awesome. Both of my children attended this school, so I have been in this school 11 years, and I do not have one bad thing to say. Both children love this school, and all the fun, learning activities that are made possible by caring staff, PTO and parents. This school is reason parents buy houses in this neighborhool.

The educational experience at Warwick Neck Elementary is much more than learning in the classroom. Kids thrive by participating in a variety of activities that make this unique place.... a true gem of a community school.

My children love Warwick Neck School for many reasons. Their teacher is fantastic, encouraging & caring. In addition to the terrific care & education they receive from their primary teacher, they love attending the school's music class, physical education class and going to the library. They are absolutely thriving at Warwick Neck!

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.
