The Rhode Island school system puts a high priority on the autonomy of every school in the system. Parents, community members and business people become involved on a neighborhood level in the public education system. Text books, learning supplies and materials required for the basic education subjects are provide free to students attending all school districts. Basic texts provide a continuous education from grades 1 through 12. New students register at their neighborhood schools.
