• Portsmouth High School ranks among R.I.'s best (eastbayri.com) — Portsmouth High School has been ranked the fourth-best public high school in Rhode Island and 816th nationally by U.S. News & World Report, highlighting its strong academics and graduation rate. The ranking also credits PHS for serving students from diverse and low-income backgrounds, putting Portsmouth alongside top-performing schools in Barrington, East Greenwich, and Providence.
• See high school football teams hit the practice fields across RI (newportri.com) — Portsmouth High School's football team is back on the practice field as the fall sports season officially kicks off across Rhode Island. A Providence Journal photo roundup is crisscrossing the state, including stops in Portsmouth, Middletown, and Woonsocket, to capture early-season action and give fans a first look at local teams.
• Owners Sue Rhode Island Over 'Taylor Swift Tax' (upriseri.com) — Owners of high-value properties, including some in Portsmouth, have sued Rhode Island to overturn the new Non-Owner Occupied Property Tax before the first payment is due September 15. The case argues the so-called "Taylor Swift tax" unfairly targets many out-of-state and second-home owners, while the state says the revenue is earmarked for affordable housing credits.
