Fights all the time, the kids are crazy and violent. Fights after school or during school. I got hit or robbed by groups of kids that are always angry almost weekly. Be tough if you have to go here. Also drugs are a problem

This school was about average, but for RI id say itÂ’s above average. People in this area are abundantly rude which reflects in the schools.

Some of the teachers are excellent in the AP and honors programs, but unfortunately some teachers are mediocre and inappropriate. A 17-year old does not need to know about a teacher's social life or prior job as an unclothed dancer for women. Students still smoke when walking between buildings and teachers who see this from classroom windows and report the names of the smoking students are told they need to be physically standing next to the student to catch them. The newest principal is trying - communicates much more often than the prior principal - but based on the newsletters he sends home, I'm glad he's not teacher grammar!
