Glocester

Nestled in the rural fringe of Chepachet, Rhode Island, within the greater Providence-Warwick metropolitan area, the Glocester School District provides an established public education framework focused on foundational primary development. Headquartered at the Glocester Town Hall, this fully operational, traditional public school district operates two elementary schools serving children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. By concentrating exclusively on early childhood and primary education, the district creates a tailored, community-centered learning environment where young scholars can build strong academic and social foundations.

With a total enrollment of 563 students across its early learning programs and elementary grade levels, the district maintains a close-knit atmosphere backed by a highly supportive workforce. Glocester’s staffing structure features 78 full-time equivalent teachers, 23 instructional aides, and 65 support staff members, bringing the total district team to 166 full-time equivalent personnel. This substantial staffing context ensures low student-to-educator ratios, allowing for personalized classroom instruction, dedicated aid, and a comprehensive support network tailored to the needs of every student.
