• Rhode Island students' test scores remain largely flat as school ratings reveal uneven progress (newsfromthestates.com) — Central Falls families are seeing about a third of local students in schools flagged for intensive improvement, according to new statewide test scores and accountability ratings. The report shows Rhode Island's math performance inching up, English slipping slightly, and big gaps in how districts are doing.
