Every family will have varying experiences based on several factors, however ours has been positive so far. As a transplant from another state, I knew we needed to be involved in order to stay up to date with school news and build a school/community network. With that said, the vast number of social media platforms allows for just that. Also, asking questions on said platforms also helped with getting answers quickly. Are there opportunities for improvement…always, but that’s where being assertive can lead to change. Learning: The ISDs approach to homework is different than what I’ve known but the school has been rated an “A” amongst all RISD schools, so I believe the scores reflect true learning and retention of information.Teaching: The teachers really care for their students. I have been impressed with their ability to find creative ways to teach kiddos in the classroom. Social-emotional support: The counselors make it a point to let families know who they are and that they are always available. Teachers are also equipped to provide kids with support they need in the classrooms.Special Education: The SPED teachers are the real MVPs of this school. I have never attended a school event where the teachers weren’t including their students in all the fun activities, just like everyone else.Safety: This will always be a top priority for any parent, regardless of school ranking. As the school expansion comes to a close, the school will continuously need to reassess entry/exit levels and be cognizant of potential threats, however I believe they have the right amount of safety measures in place. Family Engagement: This really depends on how involved a family wants to be. The school makes every effort to communicate events happening on/off campus and I’ve found that families are more than willing to volunteer. This can sometimes lead to missing out on events that require a time sensitive sign-up but getting involved with their parent network (PTA, sports, activities) has been key to staying connected.

This school sucks. There are fights all the time and it isnt very safe.

As a 7th grader of this school, I can truly say that I think this school is amazing there is plenty of diversity and everyone is mostly will give you a chance. The teachers can really be a hit or miss but all of my 8 teachers are kind and caring. I see that most of the reviews of this school are not resent at all and I think that's a little unfair. the staff is not much different from the teachers and they do really care about their mask policy for their staff and kids. the dress code isn't strict at all just as long as your not showing your stomach, back, chest, and undergarments your good. If you think that the students were rude because they didn't talk to you just know that a lot of students have their own little friend group. Please give this school a chance and if you decide that its not your cut of tea then thats ok
