I live in Warwick with a senior in high school on the Autism Spectrum so I've been dealing with the schools for 12 years. The teachers are hands down amazing. I am still friends with most of the special ed teachers. My daughter has been in general ed classes with support and is now getting college acceptances. That's the good news. The bad news is the schools themselves are awful. They're building 2 new high schools so that's a plus, but the elementary schools are in horrific shape. Bathrooms have no hot water, stall doors don't lock, etc. Again, the teachers are the best. I've also had to fight tooth and nail with the director of special ed to get my daughter the services she needed. That woman is gone thank God, but they still make you jump through hoops. The schools I've heard amazing things about are in North Kingstown and Ponagansett. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions. I've been through it all!
