With the publishing of the statewide RICAS results, we can now assess our student’s performance for the 18-19 school year to affect changes in 19-20 and beyond.  

North Smithfield remains strong in English Language Arts as we consistently rank near the top in the State. Math is problematic state-wide. In comparison to the rest of the state, North Smithfield presents itself admirably in Mathematics rankings. 

However, The RICAS is a very rigorous series of assessments and, even though we are well above the state average for the % of students Meeting or Exceeding the Expectations in both ELA and Mathematics, there is still much work to be done. 

We attribute our strength and growth to the instruction and systems of supports developed between our classroom teachers and our ELA and math Interventionists. 

Analyzing the Data:

While this summary data presents a snapshot of where we stand in the state, it is the supporting data we are most excited about. With the full range of data provided by these assessments, we are better able to identify our strengths and weaknesses across multiple standards and skills, at the school level, grade level, and even at the individual student level. 

Our teachers are analyzing the data and adjusting the curriculum and instruction to ensure continuous improvement.
