Reply to comment by [deleted] in Best towns for student with IEP/special needs? by [deleted]

I think both east and west have good schools! Of course, it depends on teachers and students, and schools. there are certain schools I’d stay away from including Eden Park (in east district, elementary). But students in the east side tend to be more understanding/caring as they come from diverse backgrounds compared to west where it’s not as much.

East Greenwich has great school systems along with Lincoln, Cumberland, and North Providence which may be near the same price point. I’d also stay away from Scituate.

Both are too small to effectively accommodate IEPs. Smithfield’s IEP and learning support consists of dumping all of the IEP kids into the same room and having the support staff do the assignments when the kids give up. The kids know this (at least in high school), and easily take advantage. North Smithfield won’t be much better, as they’re around half the size of Smithfield, and thus have half the resources.
