North Kingstown High School has shown again and again that it prioritizes protecting athletics and image over protecting students. Even after Title IX findings confirming misconduct, the administration has allowed the student involved to continue representing the school on the football team. Families are pressured to sign vague safety agreements that shift responsibility onto victims rather than holding the school accountable for providing a safe environment. Communication from leadership has been dismissive. As a parent, I no longer have confidence in this administrations commitment to student safety or Title IX compliance.

As a parent of a student new to this country this school made us feel very welcome. They were happy to look over her school reports and place her into the correct year level for her age and competency. My child settled in very quickly and made friends in her first week. There is a great list of electives to chose from. I recommend North Kingstown HS, a very good school.

This is a great school with great teachers, wonderful activities and highly competitive sports teams. I have had two children graduate and go on to highly competitive colleges. It consistently has National Merit Scholars, All State Band and Chorus students. The school's athletic department has been voted the best in the state more times than any other school for success and sportsmanship.
