Open Quote 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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
