6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWesterly Rhode Island is one of the wealthiest towns in Rhode Island. It is indeed both frustrating and sad that we have one of the worst school systems in Rhode Island. This middle school demonstrates such a disdain for students with learning disabilities that they will leave you wondering if you should homeschool, move to a different district or just pay up for the private school.Parent Review7y ago - Dunn's Corners School
