Because data for students attending school in the “annexes” were not incorporated into school-level data, some information in the on-line reports on four Providence elementary schools was incorrect. These schools are the:

  • Alfred Lima, Sr., Elementary School & Annex
  • Asa Messer Elementary School & Annex
  • Charles Fortes Academy & Annex
  • Laurel  Hill Avenue School & Annex

The data on the school reports for these four schools as well as on two state reports (Engaging Families and Community, Incidents of Suspensions) were corrected on August 8, 2008.
