STATE ASSESSMENT RESULTS


  • The West Warwick Public Schools demonstrated significant improvement in the area of reading at all grade levels.

  • The West Warwick Public Schools demonstrated moderate improvement in the area of mathematics.

  • The West Warwick Public Schools did not demonstrate improvement in the area of writing.


In reflecting upon this information, our recent focus on reading (as detailed in the 2004-2006 District Improvement Plan) has indeed "paid off."


In addition, our teachers are currently involved in professional development activities focused in the areas of mathematics and writing instruction.
