7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Jamestown School. The principal is at all events and obviously cares about the kids. Most teachers are wonderful, but as is true anywhere, you need to find the right fit for your child. Some of the aides are cranky, but Mrs. Minus is an angel sent from heaven. :) Academically, they score very well on the standards testing, but could be reaching higher, offering more (e.g., foreign language, programming) to compete with the number of private schools on Aquidneck Island. Overall, a solid school in a charming town.Parent Review10y ago
