Robert F. Kennedy Elementary School

Don't send your kids here just don't. When I was in the fifth grade my teacher left to go help his wife out with their new baby. For two weeks we got some packets that we worked on but then we just stop receiving them. This went on for another 2 months and nobody really cared. We played games on our computers all day and weren't learning a thing. The principal did not care about the students and when they would tell her that they were getting bullied she wouldn't care. There are some good teachers but the majority of them don't know how to teach and don't care about their students. When I left this school and went on to middle school I saw a major change in academics and I was actually learning stuff and even managed to get into Classical High School. This school is a joke please don't send your kids here.

This school year for my son hasn't been the greatest, to start with his teacher was mostly absent and he was already getting tired of having substituted or ending with another class in a different grade, sometimes with first graters. now his teacher is not coming back there is a substitute teacher that we hope she can stay until the end of the school year.

Is a VERY GOOD SCHOOL! They have PRE-K (Early Intervention / K / Head-start or whatever you want to call it) for Parents interested in Early education for their Toddlers (2-4 year old) My Daughter is doing 9:35 AM to 12:20 PM. Wished I could get her in a Program from 9 AM to 3 PM like my nieces, but that was all they could offer. There are other places; like CCAP in Cranston that do offer 9-3 but most of then are lottery plus you have to be a resident.They also help your kid with speech delay if need be, plus other individual learning programs (ILP).I Like this school for my Kid, she started at age of 3. Will be attending PRE-K until shes 5 then continue in the same school for Elementary Education. I believe they do PRE-K to 5th Grade.

The school does not know how to handle bullying incidents, especially the Administration. They do not uphold the moral standards as expected of a Catholic school. A student who bullied my daughter and some of the classmates to the extent of physical violence and harassment was promoted to the next grade level within the school year, which seems more of a reward for bad behavior.

The teachers at risdeaf are so caring and flexible. They take time to know your child and see beyond disabilities.
