JAMES L. MCGUIRE SCHOOL

James L. McGuire School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the North Providence school district, located in Johnston, RI with about 220 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, James L. McGuire School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

As a key component of the local educational system, the school is dedicated to providing foundational learning experiences for young students, focusing on academic growth, social development, and the cultivation of essential literacy and numeracy skills in a supportive, community-centered environment.

Like other schools in the Johnston district, the McGuire School emphasizes a collaborative partnership between educators, families, and the local community to help students reach their full potential.
