While Narragansett Elementary's exceptional academic results are commendable, it is important to consider the potential implications for educational equity in the region. The school's lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 16.91%, suggests that it may not be serving a representative cross-section of the community. This raises questions about access to quality education for all students in the Narragansett area, and further analysis of the school's demographics and resource allocation could provide valuable insights into addressing any disparities.
