Bottom Ranked RI Schools by RI Dept. of Education
The 277 schools are classified into 6 groups- with "Commended" being the highest classification and "Priority" being the lowest. According to RIDE, "Priority and Focus Schools are designated for state intervention, which entails a diagnostic screening process to determine the strengths each school has and the challenges each school faces."
“School turnaround is a major undertaking that requires several years of progress before we can be confident that the improvements are durable,” said Deborah A. Gist, Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education. “As a result, we continue to work closely with all Priority and Focus schools for at least two years to ensure that they are on the road toward school improvement.”
