Between two kids, we have spent the last four years at Aquidneck Elementary and it is the BEST school in Middletown. It is SO sad that this school is going to be gone in a couple years because the administration and all the teachers are truly focused on what is in the students’ best interest. The teachers have become family- they go out of their way to attend the kids’ extracurricular activities outside of school!!! Where have you ever seen this happen?!? The kids at this school are all the kindest. We will truly miss this school since our daughter is aging out (it is only Prek to third grade). Great friends were made at this school. The curriculum is decent- the teachers assign just the right amount of homework and they make learning fun in the classroom.

I dislike this school sooooo immensely it’s not even funny. I have never in my life seen such issues with bullying and even the front desk people think it’s funny to try and pick on me! (Mom) you all are absolutely unprofessional and you expect absolute obedience but can’t even get your stories straight. I will look forward to moving so much more than I ever have. You guys need a COMPLETE overhaul. I regret ever putting my children in this school. Shame on all of you.

I’m not a student or a parent, but I worked at this school as a behavioral support specialist.The school offers a strong academic foundation, especially in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and English. Many of the teachers are truly talented and committed to their students’ learning, and that’s a definite strength of the school.However, I was disappointed by the functioning of the special education department. In my opinion, with a background in education and some child psychology coursework, more could be done to actively support and challenge students with special needs. I observed a lack of collaboration and consistency across staff, and at times, students weren’t fully engaged or supported, depending on who their assigned teacher was.There’s a lot of potential here, but I believe the special education program would benefit from stronger teamwork and a more student-centered approach.Additionally, more should be done to address and reduce tolerance of bullying. Every student deserves to feel safe and supported at school, regardless of their needs or background. I hope to see continued improvement in these area

I have been disappointed in this school since my son started 4th grade here. The teachers do not send home progress reports regularly. They wait until the week before report cards to hold conferences and tell you that they would have sent a progress report home if it was needed only for you to receive the report card and be disappointed to see your child has some 2's which is not acceptable when the grading scale is 1-5. In fourth grade they also showed videos and had a discussion on puberty and such and I was not informed this would be happening so you can imagine my surprise when my son came home asking about babies and certain body parts. I noticed an email went out this year about it so I guess I was not the only one who was upset.
