Newport's low high school graduation rate is raising concerns


Newport Daily News
NEWPORT The city had the lowest graduation rate among all the communities in the state for the Class of 2020, according to the 2021 Rhode Island Kids Count Factbook.
Newport’s graduation rate was only 64%, lower than the core cities of Central Falls at 69%, Woonsocket at 73%, Providence at 75%, and Pawtucket at 77%.
That statistic is causing some consternation in the community. It came up during the regular School Committee meeting Tuesday night, and School Committee Chairman Raymond Gomes said he would schedule a workshop on the issue once administrators have a chance to review the data in detail.
“There is no way we can be at that 64% for Rogers,” said School Committee member Louisa Boatwright. “That’s for the overall city of Newport. Students can go to a variety of schools for different things. For the students who go to Rogers, that is not a fair assessment.” ....

Rogers High School students put Black Lives Matter logo on gym floor


NEWPORT A large Black Lives Matter logo on the floor of the gymnasium at Rogers High School is causing some discussion in the community, according to School Committee members.
The logo is just the words “Black Lives Matter” and the letters are made of vinyl that can be removed from the floor.  
Development and planning of the logo was an initiative of three students on the girls basketball team Miyah Brooks, Maeve Crowley and Ellie Margolis  all of whom addressed the School Committee on Tuesday night.
“I think the main purpose of this is to start conversations, for people to be able to ask questions about it, and for people like me to explain why Black Lives Matter and how we are being suppressed,” Brooks, who is black, told the School Committee.  ....
