PRES School Report Card from DESE

The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires districts to annually distribute school report cards to the families of all students enrolled in each of the district’s schools, regardless of the school’s Title I status or accountability determination. Report cards must include assessment and accountability results, teacher qualifications, and other information related to district and school performance.


In addition to the report cards themselves, ESSA requires that districts notify all parents of students enrolled in Title I schools that they may request, and the district will provide, certain information related to the professional qualifications of their student's classroom teacher(s).


Please click the link below to review our school's report card for 2023. These report cards are issued by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to every public school in the Commonwealth.

PRES Third Grader Holds a Successful Food Drive for the Rehoboth Food Pantry

Congratulations to a fantastic role model, Raymond "RJ" Castro! He collected and donated ten bags of food for the Rehoboth Food Pantry to help food insecure individuals in our town. He did this in an effort to "stop world hunger" and can't wait for his next collection. His story was published in this month's Rehoboth Reporter on page 6. Great job, Raymond! You exemplify our Portrait of a Graduate by being Globally Minded and Community Engaged! We're very proud of you! #WeAreDR
