Public Schools:
In the 2001-02 school year, the state’s local school districts
operated 309 public schools plus 2 charter schools: Textron Chamber
of Commerce Academy and Times2 Academy, both in the Providence
School District.
The state, through Boards of Trustees, operates 3 schools:
the Rhode Island School for the Deaf, the William M. Davies Jr.
Career-Technical High School, and The Metropolitan Regional Career &
Technical Center (The Met).
In the 2001-02 school year, there were
4 charter schools operated by
nonprofit agencies; each of these schools functions in effect as
its own school district: CVS Highlander Charter Elementary School
and Paul Cuffee Charter School, both in Providence; International
Charter School, in Pawtucket; and Kingston Hill Academy, in South
Kingstown.
The 7 Area Career & Technical Schools are not stand-alone
high schools; they are operated by school districts, and they enroll
students from outside the district. Each, however, has its own
school report.
Though there are 7 collaboratives, which provide
special-education and alternative-education services for children in
the districts within their region, only the Urban Collaborative
Accelerated Program has its own school report. The other
collaboratives are considered regional programs rather than schools.
Not included among the 326 public schools are the schools operated
by the DCYF (the RI Training School for Youth plus two additional
programs) and Hasbro Children’s Hospital, which receives state funds
to educate hospitalized students.
School Districts:
There are 36 locally operated public school districts,
including four regional districts (Bristol-Warren, Chariho,
Exeter-West Greenwich, Foster-Glocester).
Each of the 3 schools operated by the state is a state school
district; the schools operated by DCYF constitute another state
school district.
Each of the 4 charter schools operated by nonprofit agencies is a
charter school district.
