School Overview

The **Park School**, located at 40 Asylum Road in Warwick, Rhode Island, is an educational facility primarily recognized for its role as a specialized placement option within the Warwick Public School District. Historically, the school has functioned as a therapeutic or alternative learning environment designed to support students who require a more structured setting or specialized services that may not be fully met in a traditional comprehensive high school or middle school classroom.

The focus of the school is typically on providing a supportive, small-group atmosphere that integrates academic instruction with behavioral and social-emotional interventions. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, Park School aims to help students overcome personal or academic hurdles, stay on track for graduation, and develop the necessary skills to transition back into general education settings or successfully move toward post-secondary goals.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
