I would like to take this opportunity to share my input on Old County Elementary.

I have experience with other public schools in RI. However, by far I have to rate Old County Elementary as one of the best. I attribute this to the Principal Mrs. Sullivan and the teachers. There seems to be a synergy amongst them all. Mrs. Sullivan is hands on and involved with her students & their families. She is very knowledgable, helpful, responsive and caring. The teachers exude the same attitude.

Its refreshing to know that with all the responsibilities they have can provide support with a personal touch.
I feel secure and confident my child is in great hands at Old County.

Keep leading & setting the high standards. Close Quote
