My experience and my daughter’s experience at this school has been horrible. She has been severely bullied for two school years now and the only thing that has been done are conversations with the students who are doing the bullying. There has been no real consequences given. Because of this, the situation has spiraled out of control, to the point of her being physically attacked twice, and still, nothing is done to stop it. On top of this my daughter has a 504/IEP that they are refusing to honor and provide the proper services for. She has struggled with academics and the response from the teachers has been to yell at her and call her names, as opposed to having patience and support for her. She has been left to completely fall behind, feel overwhelmed and her self worth has diminished. It has gotten to the point where she has daily panic attacks at school. We have had to seek therapy and she has now been diagnosed with major depression with anxiety and ptsd due to what has been allowed to happen at this school. When her doctors/social workers contacted the school they were lied to about services my daughter receives and it was turned around to say they are not seeing enough effort put in by my daughter so it is her fault for struggling. My advice, stay far away from this school and this area in general. It’s disgraceful what is happening and then being swept under the rug.

The principal only has a few years of teaching experience, but his daddy is the mayor of Cranston so he's in charge. As you would expect, we have a culture of fear and intimidation amongst staff. Nepotism everywhere - directors being hired because their mommy was important - no clear communication, high-school tactics.How does this affect your kid?You think your kid will thrive in this environment?Avoid if you value your kids.

I have had two children at this school and am an active participant in a PTO that cares and goes above and beyond to provide full paid for enrichment activities.
