#1 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Niche User: As far as high schools go, Narragansett is one of the best. The teachers are awesome. The classes are informative and interesting. I was part of an environmental club called Envirothon where we won the state competition and went to Missouri for the national competition! I was part of the book club and the swim team. The teachers are involved in these clubs and sports and really want students to succeed, both academically and personally. The students are not very diverse, mostly white christian/no religion. However, most are accepting and tolerant of those different than them. There are preppy popular athletes, but there are also a wide range of different people (smarties, stoners, art kids, etc). I wouldn't want to repeat high school, but Narragansett is a great high school with caring teachers and great academics.

#2 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: North Smithfield High School stands out amongst other schools for its commitment to academics and inclusive environment. It offers AP courses with fully competent and enthusiastic teachers, and an amazing music program. However the school should dedicate more time to helping students prepare for real life situations, as well as offering career based information students know where they want to be. It is dedicated to Unified Sports and has been recognized by the state. It offers a safe environment, this year adding a SRO from the NSPD to be present at all times. The teaching staff enjoys their work and it is clear how well they get along. However, the facilities of the school such as available bathrooms and heating systems are lacking. Overall, it is a great high school that is continuing to advance.

#3 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Junior: I am in my third year at Portsmouth High School and I am very grateful to attend such a wonderful public high school. As far as honors and AP classes go the teachers are absolutely wonderful. They make lessons engaging and for the most part care so so much about their students. They are always after school if you need extra help or just want to talk. The clubs are also wonderful and there are an abundance of opportunities as well. I believe the special ed department is very good as well. When it comes to diversity the school is really lacking, considering students are from a relatively white and middle to upper middle class town. It is like a typical high school in terms of the social scene but the majority of students are very friendly and inclusive.

Parent: Best high school a parent could ask for! Excellent education with small class sizes. It's personal... advisors and teachers communicate regularly so you always know what's going on with your child. No worries, I drop my boys off at school knowing they are safe, getting the education they need and they are enjoying it! How many parents can say that about their child's high school! My 3 sons have all attended School One and love it. We highly recommend them!

Junior: I just really liked it in general. As a hispanic and member of the LGBT community, I feel really comfortable in this school environment. Everyone is really welcoming, and there’s not one time that i haven’t felt safe in my school. My school offers an immense amount of academic opportunites, including many challenging AP classes, as well as a number if clubs, organizations, and other extra curricular activities. Lincoln Senior High School has something here for everyone!

#5 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Alum: Attending South Kingstown High School has shaped me into who I am today. Throughout my four years there, I was also very involved. I played soccer, basketball, and participated in various clubs like sculpture and photography. The thing I admire most about my school was the opportunities they gave us. We had so many school traditions, like the junior class putting on an escapades play, that made everyone get to know one another and become friends instead of being separated. Multiple teachers were also coaches, which gave the students an outlet if they needed an adult to talk to. SK had an all around great community and gave great opportunities. I would like to say our school was the best, experience wise, however there is one thing that needed some improvement. Our school was established in 1880 and not much work has been done on it since Our school is not very comfortable to be sitting in all day between the boiling hot fall and spring season, to the freezing cold winters.

#6 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Junior: The school is a blend of many great things, with a few not so great things. The class selections offered are great! The teachers are also good for the most part. College readiness is fairly good as well. Not to the not so good. The food is definitely subpar. The quality saw a rapid decline-which could be due to a provider switch. Finally, although the gym/wellness center is definitely above average, a dedicated athletic training room is lacking.

#7 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: I have had a great experience with Barrington High School. The teachers and general community are amazing in terms of truly engaging their students. Students of all grades are challenged both in and out of the classroom. However, this does tend to induce a high stress environment for children that take the higher level classes. The homework load that is placed on students is often very difficult to handle. Nonetheless, the college preparation and time management skills developed at Barrington High School are great.

#8 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Junior: As a current high school junior, college is coming up quickly, and I feel extremely fortunate to be a student at East Greenwich High School. EGHS has a rigorous academic program that encourages being up to a challenge, and puts an emphasis on being ready for college. According to my friends who've graduated, college is much easier for them because they received a great education here.
Most of the teachers care about their students, and there are a ton of after-school activities available for students. Our sports teams often rank highly in state competitions, as well. Food and facilities are pretty average. My school is weak in terms of diversity, as the student body is around 90% white, and has been weak in school spirit, but some of the incoming classes are trying to change that! I'm proud to be a student at EGHS, and feel confident about my future because of my experiences here.

#9 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Alum: I love this school! My time at Blackstone made the best 4 years of my life. What I really love that the fact the workers there wanted to be called by their first name and what I really like about that is want to be your friend and they really do care about their students and they do want them to succeed. And with that I really love the people there because right now the people who I met there and become friends with is people who I Iove. Next is the way that they teach you, for me having autism I had face challenges with learning and to know what to do but the teachers there really helped to know the material or help me anyway they can and that another I really love about Blackstone. But this is just few amazing things about Blackstone, right now I graduated from Blackstone but being there was one heck of a lifetime.

#11 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Alum: Beacon Charter School was an incredibly supportive, enriching environment.
Focusing on three arts majors, the school really challenges students to become their most genuine and successful selves.
In state standardized testing, Beacon repeatedly placed within the top five schools in the state. They value their students and understand that extra patience, care, and acceptance goes a long way in how their students perform in school and in their personal lives.

The staff and teachers were all very intelligent and caring people. With the small number of students, they are able to get to know each student personally and tailor their school experience to be as beneficial as possible. Students came from all areas of the state, from every cultural and religious background imaginable. And the incredible support offered to LGBTQ students is unparalleled.

Senior: I have attended Exter West Greenwich Regionl Senior High School for the entirety of my high school education. It is a very small school district which causes there to be a lack in diversity. Overall, I feel that academically I have been given a solid foundation. Some teachers more than other have taken their jobs very seriously and I have felt like I have been given a skill set in which will be successful for college.

Alum: Times2 changed my life. It was my dedicated teachers who inspired me to chase my dreams. They prepared me for college and always went the extra mile. I could stay at school until 7 o'clock at night to get extra help, we even had Saturday academy where kids could come in and work with teachers to complete assignments. I always felt like we were a family. I graduated feeling confident in myself and determined that I would be successful within my career. I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to be taught by one of the best college preparatory charter schools in the state!

#14 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: North Kingstown is a consistently standout high school among others in the state, and from my time here as a student, it is obvious why. Nearly all of our sports are very competitive, and there is always a large crowd supporting. However, the worst part of North Kingstown High School is the overbearing administration. There is a very small group of troublemakers, yet the administration treats the student body as if every single student is an issue. They have recently imposed restrictions and changed common practices in ways that only harm the students and frankly do not make sense.

Sophomore: Chariho High School has many options for all students. For example, not only is it a high school it is also a career and technical education center having over 20 programs and pathways within that center. At this center, you have many hands-on opportunities in addition to all regular academic classes. The school also has many AP classes and EEP class opportunities to earn college credit. As well as a program where in high school you can earn enough credits to enter CCRI as a Sophmore. Furthermore, there is an excellent sports program with the majority of sports competing in RIIL division 1 or 2 contests. Finally, there are also clubs for anyone and almost anything allowing the school to fit for almost any child.

#16 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Alum: Smithfield High School was filled with awesome programs, classes and best of all, the teachers. Every single one of them cares so much about the students, and truly makes and effort to connect with them. The atmosphere was almost always positive, and the kids there really do support each other. The athletes will happily go and support a music concert or theatre production, and vice versa. You can be in any club or group and be respected and supported by the people around you. The engineering program, mock trial experience/ business program, music program and art classes are all amazing and filled with the most engaging and passionate teachers. I always listen to stories of high schools from my friends in different towns, and I can honestly say the safety, acceptance, and quality of education that they have experienced in their high schools pales in comparison to mine at Smithfield. Go sentinels!

#17 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: The Met's philosophy is built around career-based learning. Students create their own learning plans with their teachers, mentors, and parents. Students design their own projects based around what they are learning at their internships they go to two days out of the week. Unlike most schools, The Met doesn't have standardized tests or classes. However, students get high school credits through their projects, internships, and college classes. At the end of each trimester, students have to showcase their learning in front of their peers, teachers, parents, and mentors and are graded on their overall engagement, academic rigor, and personal growth from the project.

Alum: I transferred here after my sophomore year in high school and loved everything about this school. Going from a private to a public school halfway through high school was a big adjustment, but the teachers, administration, students, and culture made the transition effortless and probably the best decision I’ve ever made. For a public school in Rhode Island, they are very competitive in sports and the arts.

#19 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: My overall experience during my four years here at Burrillville High School has been pretty good. I have achieved a lot of excellence here throughout my four years of high school. Not only have I achieved academic excellence throughout my four years but in other activities as well, such as soccer. My junior year on the soccer team I made it to the state finals but lost, to get second. But this year, senior year, we won the state championship, which was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever encountered. I do not think anything needs to be really changed here. I also would say that the extra curricular and sports here are very well runned especially the girls soccer and basketball team! I would recommend getting involved in sports, it makes high school a lot better.

#20 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: As a senior I have had a positive experience at The Greene School. The mission statement of my high school resinates with me. "We develop leaders and citizens engaged in finding peaceful and sustainable solutions
to local and global challenges." Both students and teachers push environmental and social justice as a priority. We have events such as peace week and wilderness to get students involved in these values. Now that I am near graduating I feel well prepared for college. The Greene School has made me a more politicly involved and environmentally conscious person.
One criticism on this school would be its lack of money, as it is a charter school. This prevents it from having sports.

Only 4 classes a day and always enough time to get to your next class! I loved attending Coventry High.

Middle School Student: The teachers at this school care a lot about seeing their students succeed. Parents are very involved in the lower grades and they work with the teachers to make sure the student gets whats best for them. The community at this school is great, especially at the middle school. Students say good morning to each other as they walk in, teachers are there to greet you at the door and there is a daily motivational message to read. Even though all 3 buildings are small, the community uses every bit of it.

#24 Best Public High School Teachers in Rhode Island
Senior: The absolute best benefit during my time at William M. Davies, Jr. Career and Technical High School is the loving, experienced, helpful technical Instructors. As a student who wanted to originally attend an academic based high school, I did not expect to earn many opportunities that would provide me a major head start in the real world. I had the opportunity to work with CVS, Lifespan, Brown's Alpert Medical School, local nursing homes and much more! I do not regret joining the Health Careers Medical Shop. However, although Davies has many Advanced Placement classes offered, it was not always like that and many qualified students, such as myself, did not get the chance to take many AP classes.
