I actually went to West Glocester Elementary School, and dang it, it was a great school! I currently am enrolled in Ponaganset Middle School, and just looking at the ratings, I don't believe it. We always had new gym toys, and alright/good lunch food. The teachers were incredible, and even the janitors were willing to help you out! At Fogarty Memorial, I've heard things like there are rats running around their school... EW! They also had their gym class in the cafeteria.... Yet, West Glocester was rated lower than Fogarty? Heck no! If you look at the advanced classes in Ponaganset, most of the students are from West Glocester. I'm not trying to be mean, but I highly doubt that West Glocester should get that low of a rating, and I'm just explaining why. Plus, no one from my school has become a bully. Not a single person in my grade! Close Quote
